#68 Back to School Wardrobe
REFLECTIONS: Spring in Texas is warming up with afternoons into
the 80’s
- Later, when we hit 100's, we need summer weight Capris
- Now Cropped Trousers in transition weight are useful.
BEFORE: Men’s grey denim western cut pants. With Sans a belt
waist!!!.
- From husbands closet clean out.
STEPS:
- Seam rip: Waistband, zipper, belt loops.
- Shorten hem.
- Open side seams & insert gusset made from self fabric waistband.
- Attach new elastic casing waistband cut from old t-shirt.
- Heavier weight & longer than summer crops.
- Side gusset appears to be a design detail when worn.
- Waist band is covered by over the waist tops.

I steal from my husband too! Great job, that waistband looks so well done. The length is great too.
