Over the years I have accumulated a sizable clothing wardrobe. Most of my pants no longer fit because I have lost weight over time. I tend to buy more traditional garments as opposed to trendy garments, so I have a closet full of garments that are too large but are still fashionable. I have some unique trendy items too. I just prefer a more traditional style. I was going through my closet again to downsize some of my clothes so that I can make some more room and donate the ones that I don't want to the thrift store. ![5ej86q34vs.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/5ej86q34vs.jpg) When I look at some of my jackets and suits in the closet, I wonder if I will find an occasion to wear them regularly since I am retired or should I just donate them to some lady who is still in the workforce. I found one pair of trendy casual pants that I used to love that also has two different jackets. ![fs3r2er09c.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/fs3r2er09c.jpg) I absolutely love the fabric, but when I tried on the pants, they were huge! They were always designed to have a relaxed fix, but not a balloon pants look, so I decided to try my luck at altering them. ![4xtr8cm7x6.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/4xtr8cm7x6.jpg) I got a pair of my relaxed fit pants to use as a pattern to help me determine how much I needed to cut off. I also took apart the waist band and the hem as well. I did this using a seam ripper while watching television to help me pass the time. This ensemble also came with a simple short sleeve top, but I can't find it right now. This project will take me a couple of days because of my busy schedule, but I am looking forward to re-making a favorite ensemble. I'll be wearing this outfit to class this week when I finish it. Enjoy your day. ![25a0c5f9jb.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/25a0c5f9jb.jpg)

It will be so nice for you to repurpose one of your favorite outfits!! Yes it does take patience. I’ve watched my mom alter many garments for years. Looking forward to seeing how the experience was. Happy altering!!! 😉

Alterations are totally worth while. Yearly I find myself looking at old garments and deciding whether to send to a thrift shop or upcycle. Most often I choose to give away pieces that are in good condition, someone can use a garment that is what it is. But, when there’s maybe a hole or a stain, it’s creative upcycling time! Enjoy the alteration adventure. Keep in mind that the crotch of pants are cut in an unusual way. I don’t know your experience level, so if you’re not familiar with pants, take a look at a pattern and notice the lines for the different sizes before you cut. ![D62C9385-E5B8-4C26-A9A9-F68A39E3C85D.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV4cQM4G5sigMFNngBTZxdLzcP8LaPQRNX3pjaZAvFA7r/D62C9385-E5B8-4C26-A9A9-F68A39E3C85D.jpeg) Notice how the lines cross. This is the back of the pants. ![FD1E8E52-FFF4-4E1B-84EA-E0835A703304.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc9e5CZQ88YoQzcBKHFgYFRa1uJBLvLfBoPhpHpwg2bLv/FD1E8E52-FFF4-4E1B-84EA-E0835A703304.jpeg)

It's always great to re-purpose old clothes, almost feels better than buying new ones! Good luck with the alterations!

I am also looking forward to this project. The fabric with its warm colours looks beautiful and I can imagine that you love the pants. As I have never sewn pants (but I so want to learn it, as I seldom find some which fit) I am curious how you will tackle this project.

Oo I love the fabric too @jluvs2fly 😍 They look very much like the Asian batik and very comfy too. Posted using [Partiko iOS](https://partiko.app/referral/marblely)
