Turning a piece of garbage into pants.

Tonight I took a pair of paint stained maternity pants from the 80's and made a new pair of great pants! They were a black with white floral Rayon fabric in great shape. I cut out the damaged bits, took off the bottom layer of stitching in the waistband and cut it off. I redid the front and back centers (rises) and reattached the pants to the waist, easing the elastic band. I took out the inside leg of the hem, recut and serged the inside legs, then resewed up the hem. I added a Custom Mother lable, a Rip Club tag and hangers, then put on a hanger and on the rack. I sure hope somebody appreciates these lovely repurposed pants.
