These cute Gymboree pants were a find at my favorite store. I love gingham... so I put them in my cart!
 |
| Here is the BEFORE... size 18-24 Gymboree gingham pants. |
 |
| I picked a good spot to cut the sweet little pants. Pretty much in the middle, but if you are going to transform some pants... do what suits you! |
 |
| Then I ran the cut edges through my sewing machine to make a gathered edge... |
 |
| Next step is to find some fabric you like... I love polka dots! This strip of fabric was about 29" long and about 3" wide, then I pressed it down the center. |
 |
| I cut the 29" strip in half. Then with right sides together sewed the strip to the gathered edge of the shorts... I started the strip of fabric at the inside seam... Look how cute! |
 |
| Don't stop there... add some details... I took a strip of white fabric... sewed to make a tube, then used this handy tool to turn it right side out. |
 |
| Finish the edges by turning the seams inward and stitch. I think I used about 14" to make the bow embellishments for the shorts. |
 |
| Then add them to shorts. Cute! I love how they turned out. Little whimsy, and a little classy... perfect for our princess! |
 |
| They look great with her Minnie shoes... stay tuned for part 2... the halter top tutorial and 3 piece pattern. It's a darling halter! |
