I've been loving all of the loose zara trousers, so much so that I decided to refashion a pair for myself from a thrifted pair of, what I would call, frumpy granny pants. Even though I tend to have a bigger tush in them, I still love how they flow and fit. This is a SUPER easy way to take in a pair of pants, and if you want, you can even make these pants from scratch. Just need some soft flowy fabric.
Instructions: 1. Lay a pair of loose fitting pants over the ones to be altered. Fold the crotch outward with the middles side seams together. The outside seams will be the folds in the front. Match the other pair against the folds/outside seams.
2. Cut out the pants to mimic the other pair. I would makes sure to cut the crotch part longer than you think because you don't want any pulling in that area.
3. sew up the in seams on the pant legs.
4. connect the middle seams together to sew the back middle seam and the front middle seam.
