Raise The Waist

 Hello Readers. Have you ever deleted an entire post by accident? Oops. Yes, I did that. Let me try again. I posted this same post last week and I just made it disappear. I liked it a lot and the waist band on the shorts was my favorite part. 

Before and after.

The legs of the shorts were long enough that I could cut off the whole hemline. I cut it off both legs.

I connected those 2 pieces and that made a long strip of fabric.

I clipped it to my waistband. 

 

I tied the ends of the strip of fabric in front of the shorts like a belt.

 

This ruffle wasn't really working for me. I liked the pattern of the shirt with the striped shorts but I wanted the shirt to be simplified.

 

Thanks for reading along, you can see more details about this and other projects on my blog.
