Mums pants past their best before date?

I have a few pairs of these, some are to big, some were always too small (I had kept in the hope of one day....but that's my other blog!) and some are just plain ugly and old fashioned. So here is what I did ...

1. I folded the pants in half and lay them flat
2. I took a pair of Gully's pants and lay them on top to cut out the crotch area careful not to cut his current pants!
3. I then sewed up the new pants, putting a simple elastic waist in. If I had though about it I would have left a small opening and used buttonhole elastic for growth, oh well next time :)

The also have a pretty big rise, which would have been great if he was still in nappies! Anyway he loves them, they are his Karate pants!
