Another easy upcycle project is this one from my original post in Fall '09 (new projects are coming soon!):
This outfit was made with my 3/4 & long sleeve Fall peasant pattern from my etsy shop. I only added a few inches to the width and added elastic in the waist, around the neckline and around the wrists. The pants were made using my ruffle capris/pants pattern, I only added a pocket
Here's what you need: sewing machine, thread, pins, lip edge ruler, cutter and a pair of outgrewn ruffle pants:
If your little girl is like mine and is to skinny but tall her pants will soon be to short as these red corduroy ruffle pants
To convert them into cute Rhumba pants simply cut off the bottom hem:
Cut a strip of corduroy (or other coordinating fabric) to about 1.5 times the length of the existing ruffles and determine the wide according to your now needed inseam length. Fold down one side to 0.5 inch and press then fold down once more to 0.5 inch and press. Sew this hem in place. Now ruffle this strip with your machine (set tension to highest number and stitch length to longest setting and sew along the edge)
Pin ruffles to raw bottom hem as shown. Sew in place and serge/overcast the raw edges. Top stitch if desired
Her new Rhumba pants are done! Not too practical but a whole lot of fun!:)
