How to Alter and Jazz Up Unisex Chef Pants...Show Your Fun Spirit!
I need to wear Chef Pants for Work...you know, the black and white check ones...all cotton...deep pockets...elastic and tie waist...with a little Fork Logo on the side seam.
Chef Pants are FUNCTIONAL and COMFORTABLE to wear, but the LENGTH is crazy LONG and the FASHION STATEMENT is a bit LACKING.
Maybe there is room to jazz up the pants Without Compromising the Function or the Fit...
Hello Black Double-Fold Bias Tape to the Rescue!!
DIY - How to Alter and Jazz Up Chef Pants:
First - Try on the Chef Pants and Measure the Length...I am most comfortable with ankle-length hems.
These Chef Pants have 4 inches of Excess Fabric to remove...
Love the Classic Black and White Checks, Deep Pockets, and these Pants Wear Like Iron!

Next: Cut off the Excess Pant Leg Fabric...
I thought of making hair ties with the excess fabric...but maybe for another day.
Now to Add a Bit of Jazzy Fun - With Black Double-Fold Bias Tape (1/2 inch width), Measure to wrap around the Pant Leg Hem.

Cut the Length of the Bias Tape for Each Leg...

Now Sew to Secure the bias tape...
