- Go to Can I put a gusset in a pair of trousers.??????????????????
In some mysterious way, I passed my sewing class in High School, made one pantsuit at home that looked kind of alright, and then never touched the enemy (the sewing machine) again!

I really want to learn to sew. I attempted some pajama
bottoms a couple of years ago. One leg is much bigger
than the other, but I wore them for a while proud that
i finally attempted something.

Gussets in trousers? Wouldn't it make more sense to reduce the intake?

LMAO at Wiley's comment!! I never do it now-a-days, but I can remember loving the smell of the hot iron on a white shirt just off the clothesline. That reminds me of spring. Lovely funny post, Kabu. I was smiling all the way through.

Ah, the gusset that allows the garment to accomodate more than was intended
by the original tailor... I am a believer in spandex gussets! Right down the side seams!

What the heck is a gusset?
For some reason I thought it was the button you fasten a suspender to. However, I now get the impression it may be something like a hammock of sorts designed to conceal or emphasize some anatomical feature or other.... guess I'll check Google.

I am similar to you, as my mom didnt have any patience to help me learn to sew or do anything domestic, I just did the best I could. My mom could of been a professional seamstress I bet if she wanted to. But one thing I remember the most was her sitting with a light bulb in the toe of the socks darning them

Well Kabu you surprise me I have seen many a gusset carefully placed in a happy hubby's trousers and of course when even that became unable to contain the aftermath of fair living, it was into the old rag rug especially if there was a nice bit of red material for the center.

I remember the psychedelic colours, and the darning, and the piles of ironing... Never darn, these days, and iron as little as possible, life being too short for such activities!
