weird pose...ehhh I'll take it :)
These pants were a size too big and they were low waisted. So, I took in the sides of my waist to fit my natural waist instead of hips, took in the thigh area just a little, and made them longer (tutorial here - if there is no tearing or wearing of the pant on the original bottom, then you don't have to cut it out, like I didn't have to here). I paired it with a tee shirt I made (tutorial here).
Thank you mom and dad for buying me stuff in high school that I would never wear then and have, or will refashion and wear now. Think of all the money you wasted on me. I guess it's paying off now though....anyway...

Very cute!... i was thinking about what the next challenge should be ... what if you made a challenge to refashion a men's piece of clothing into something feminine, I think that would be fun to do!
