Different kind of remodeling project

I had this pair of pants that I really liked, but they were too small for me.  I tried to wear them on "skinny days", but they still weren't comfortable (read popped snap when I sat down).

I faced the facts this weekend and decided to make them useful form my family. My goal was to make them a size larger than the model pants, so they would fit longer, while keeping the cool pockets.

Here's the stylin' new cords on the N'ster. Mission accomplished, they definitely fit big and he likes them. Hopefully they'll work perfect for the big K this fall.

Have you ever remodeled/resized clothes? Ah, the things I find to entertain myself on these cold, cold winter days!
