Boyfriend-style Pants

As hubby and I were cleaning out our apartment preparing for a move, I thought I’d try my hand at making some sweet pants out of his old ones. I got my inspiration from these lovely chinos, found at Eddie Bauer:

Cute….but $60

I grabbed his old pair of gray pants and tried ’em on:

Doesn’t quite fit….

Eh, it’ll do.

These pants make me feel like this:

What up, Duckface?

I took a pair of skinny jeans to outline the basic shape that I wanted:

I took it in on both sides- both the inside seam and the outside seam

When I got to the crotch, I just kept sewing:

See my new line?

At this point I was trimming the fabric along my stitch line and accidentally cut my finger with my shears.

Ouch!

Once that healed up, I finished my sewing…

I even stitched it up the pockets and around those grommet things.

I was very satisfied with my final look:

super comfy….and totally free!

I think they fit rather well…

Hubby likes them too 🙂
