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.
