Cleverly, while sorting and clearing my photos, I deleted my last two refashions so it's been a while...
These are / were some uniform pants that were no longer required. In the course of their uniform life they ended up with a glue blob? Varnish blob? Something blob that was never coming out right on the knee (where the safety pin is in the photo).
That combined with the hot and humid weather at the time said - shorts!
So they would be long enough I chopped the legs below the blob and folded that into the hem. And they were done, and I wore them like that a few times.
The shorts have pockets already, one with a zip, but they are not particularly deep and I had quite a lot of left over fabric - so more pockets.
Just 'because' I decided to add the cargo pockets at an angle. No problems with the first one, but I flipped them over and sewed the second one at the same angle instead of mirrored. Which looked daft. Sigh. Unpick, resew, flaps and recycled buttons - done again! And now they have phone pockets for long walks.
Happy sewing!

These will be great walking shorts! I can relate to the sewing and unpicking my stitches and sewing again.
