I have these dress slacks that have needed attention for some time. A few years ago, long enough that I can’t remember who was the culprit anymore, one of the cats decided to climb the clothing in the closet. The bottom few inches of these pants were ruined with snags and rips. Being that this was a really nice, high quality pair being fully lined, I couldn’t stand the idea of just tossing them. At some point I did cut off the ruined portions. The remainder has been haunting my studio since. I had the glimmerings of an idea last night a dug through my box of trims and some trim grab bags I had. This morning, I converted that idea into reality. I hemmed both pants and lining, and added a bit of fun trim to the pants hems. Now they are capris and have touch of seam lace that peaks out just below the hem and a small band of black and white gingham. I’m quite pleased with the results and have already imagined outfit pairings.
