Ok, I made the time!(re-invented)

And cleaning...who cares! I needed to sew..lol.

Here is the original item, not the hole in the knee but otherwise in good condition:

ANd the re-invented:

Not a great picture, these are now capris, they are just below the knee. Trimmed with whatever I had. And bits of fabric. No money spent and a "new" pair of capris for spring and summer.

I'm impressed! I need to practice more with my sewing machine. It always impresses me when people turn something "old" into something "new". I love your re-invention.

Very good job, I bet your daughter will love them.

~Great job! I love how well all the fabrics coordinate! I know I would have loved to own a pair like that when I was a girl. WTG!~

**hmcart** · 02-24-2008, 02:28 PM

very cute!

**kittykatstrong** · 02-24-2008, 03:29 PM

I love them and they were something you had any way.

Those are REALLY CUTE! You girls are making me want to sew again. I used to sew purses and sell them.

Those capris are adorable, even better than they were as pants originally. I look forward to doing this with my daughter's pants soon. How about a matching scarf-like belt with the same fabric to go with it?

Hiya,

Those are great!!!!!

Fabulous! I saw a contestant on american idol wearing a pair of jeans similar to these and she got huge compliments! They were crazy quilted up the front of both legs and it ended right below her pockets. Very cute!

**FrugalMomof3** · 02-24-2008, 09:15 PM

They are adorable! Great job

**mommy4ever** · 02-24-2008, 09:27 PM

Thanks! I loved them. She tried them on, and has been wearing them ALL day!

I did these overalls they were full length, changed them in to shorts. Gave them as a gift. They were well received.

I need to make another set for my little girl. I still have some fabrics..lol
