#85 Back to School Wardrobe
REFLECTIONS: During this year of no new clothes, Texas RanchHouse shorts come from stash, not store.
BEFORE: Men’s pants from Refashion stash. I had taken them apart. They were oddly shaped.
STEPS: Original pants needed to be pieced due to deconstruction process.
- Cut the legs off at shorts length.
- Use cut-off legs to piece side inserts between the front/back.
- Use one seams pants pattern to recut shorts.
- Use stash t-shirt to cut knit waist band.
- Loose fit, to wear at home. Gardening, walking to the mail-box on the dirt road in Texas heat!!!

| AFTER: Casual RanchHouse shorts. I hear the song "Summer in the City" It is summer at RanchHouse and it is hot!! |

The seams from piecing fabric together actually adds interest to pattern and makes the shorts look kinda fancy! Love it.
Maria Thanks - I was very surprised that they turned up in the center of the leg. Just luckY!
These look great! Nice idea to make shorts from the pants for summer.
