Shorts to Pants

I started with these:
old yoga shorts
I extended them into capris (pants...bloomers...pantaloons...?) by adding some sheer black fabric from my stash:
flat-felled seams
and tucks as a decorative element

I thought they would be fun to wear under a long tunic top, skirt, or dress in nice weather. 

You can see me wearing 'em at Project Minima on my Clothes Collage page!

    Nice! I was trying to find your clothes collage on your blog but couldn't find it?

    Sorry about that - the Clothes Collages are a separate page listed on the side bar. I'll put a link that goes directly there.

    Nice. I redid some pants that were 2 sizes too small in the waist (okay in the hips) and made the hem my waistband. Like how you added the sheer black fabric using flat felled seams.

    I love the idea of wearing billowy pants instead of leggings or a lacy skirt (which is what I usually wear).
