I finally brought out my winter cycling gear and low and behold, the waistline elastic died on me. Unpicking overlocking/serging is painful but I didn’t want to buy another pair of longs.
These longs are now back in my cycling wardrobe and they still keep the wind off my short little legs.
Now to get back to some real sewing. I have a couple more brown outfits to come…

It must be the time of year, I pulled out a half slip and the same thing, haven't yet taken up the challenge to unpick LOL.

Would you believe I've actually cut the waist band off to avoid unpicking? I just couldn't face the frustration of unpicking and ruining the fabric…

Thank you for the reply, the half slip won't miss the waistband being cut off and this is far more appealing than unpicking …

I'm glad you don't have to unpick it.
