I have long legs and it was difficult to find long underwear that went to my ankle, not halfway down my shin. I finally decided to buy men’s long underwear and alter them.

I cut the panel out.

Men’s long underwear with panel removed.

Measured and sewed a new seam.

I sewed the seam shut.

On the table, they looked great. But not when I tried them on. The thigh area was much too tight without that panel.

This year, I purchased three more pair of men’s long underwear and accidentally found an easy fix. (I must have been exhausted because I put them on backwards.)

Who knew? I could use the extra material on the backside!

Now is the time to buy them as they are on clearance.
