STEP 1:
Try your wetsuit on and stand up straight. Determine how much you want to remove. Be conservative, because once it’s too short, you can’t go back! |
 |
|
STEP 2: Use marker to draw a line around the ankle to indicate where you will cut. Do not cut into the bright coloured bar-tack stitch, as this is needed for reinforcement. |
 |
|
STEP 3: Pinch a small area of neoprene along the line you have drawn. Make a small (10mm) cut into the fabric. This will be the start and end point of your cut. |
 |
|
STEP 4: Insert one end of the scissors 3-4cm into the small cut hole and begin to cut. Longer cuts are better than many short cuts, to avoid a messy jagged edge. |
 |
|
STEP 5: Continue to cut along the line you have drawn, until you end up at the same point you started. Smooth out any jagged edges. Repeat steps 2 - 5 on the other leg. |
 |
|
STEP 6: To finish your wetsuit off like a pro; run a flame along the cut edge (inner and outer fabric) to seal the fabric and melt the grey thread. The threads will melt and stick together. |
