Black Pant Fusion
April 29 - May 21, 2026 Thread on Fabric
Spent WAY too long combining two pairs of pants.
Took black jeans and old black pants and combined them. Before, they were both high waisted, too short, and too tight. The goal was to fuse them into one pair of low-rise baggy pants. I used the jeans as a base and made two panels out of the black pants to sew along the sides. I also deepened the pockets of the black pants because they were horrendously shallow before.
I must've measured the length of the jeans wrong because when I sewed the panels all together they did not line up at the bottom 😭. I worked through it by adding another strip to bottom of the black panels.
All in all, this was my first big sewing project, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. At first I was kinda upset at how long it took ("I spent so long making the midd-est pants ever"), but they're actually my favourite pair of pants now I'm very proud of them. And also this got me quite comfortable with using sewing machines :] (although sewing thick layers of denim is so goddamned annoying)
The waistline was increased from 26" - 34".
