I really don't like waste, so my sons have many pairs of trousers/shorts with patches, replaced elastic or drawstrings. This set though had already been patched twice (and I do an inside patch as well as an outside one), and appeared beyond rescue. Until I realised that the pants section was intact.

So I cut the legs off - making sure they were level of course.

Made some wide binding - about 10cm before folding. Pinned it to cover the raw edges & stitched it on.

L7 liked the transformation of his trousers and wore them the next day. I rather like them too.
