Sewing (alterations):
Side seam of chinos unpicked for splicing in a wedge to expand the waistband. I just cut down alongside the seam on the first side, which was an absolute bear to sew. Suggestions on here led me to try a different route for the other side.
I have still cut through the waistband, rather than unpick all of it and expand it at centre back, but I have unpicked the seam from waistband to pocket, so I will only be driving the needle through single thickness fabric.
I have also cut out the wedge to be sewn in. I might pin and tack it in place tomorrow.
Tangling:
The first of the beige socks is ready to start the toe section, and the first self of the striped shortie socks, is ready for me to graft the toe shut. As soon as the needles come free, I'll cast on the second sock of each.
