And aren't we glad we didn't encounter someone in the street wearing these pants? Would have scared the heck out of me!! Great fabric find, though. Have fun.

Great fabric find. Isn't it amazing how we quilters identify with fabric. We never really see it as it is but as it could be! Thanks for sharing and bringing a smile to my face.

What a hideous pair of pants. So glad you were able to salvedge them into something much more appealing.

Do you always cut up your fabric right away when you buy it? I cut the zipper, seams, and whatever I can't use but let the fabric whole until I get a plan for it.
