Quickly shortened summer pants that were too long:

Works for other garments too:
crochet on shorter sleeves—or wider sleeves
crochet on shorter skirts—or longer crocheted edgings, etc......

That looks great.
How did you pierce through the fabric? With a regular crochet hook? Was it hard work?

Great idea, it looks really nice—did you pre-punch the holes with a sewing machine?

Just use a size 2 crochet hook... it went through the thin fabric like butter, with no resistance at all. ;)
