MAKING PRE-OWNED GARMENTS FIT

Making clothing already owned fit to size can be more arduous than actually making something from scratch.  And who can make a person that can't follow instruction sit absolutely still whilst pinning the garment to their body proportions?  It's like dealing with a large toddler!

For this reason I have given up on trying to do this task, other than extending long pants that fit at the waist to actually cover the ankles.  I'm planning to use crazy quilting on the bottom of my daughter's pant legs to make it look like it should be there rather than simply be an obvious homemade extension.  Use embellishment!  It makes for an 'original' look too.
