I have a thing for 1) a good challenge, 2) recycling, 3) creating something unique, 4) outfitting my daughters... and this project fulfilled all those things.
I used the shirt sleeves to make pant legs. I sewed the shirt pocket onto the back of the pants. I am not very great at sewing waistbands, so I used the wasteband from a pair of Ruby's shorts (they used to be pants, but the knees wore out so I made them into shorts, then the bum got worn out.... this is recycling at its best, right?). I cut the waistband off the shorts with about 2 inches of fabric below it. I attached the waistband to the sleeve pants. Not too difficult.
What do you think? Ruby likes to wear this with her "Daddy's Sweetheart" shirt.
