This is a pair of pantaloons that made it to New Jersey just as the hurricane came through...
These cute pantaloons started out as a pair of cotton pants that had a wide elastic and s draw string...I cut the waist band off so that the crotch would be higher and the waist would be lower...I cut the legs off and added that material as the new pockets. I ran a strip through the hem to create a drawstring to the pockets that matched the waist...

The pant hem is full of bits and pieces of crochet,lace, old curtain and bed skirt...she is as prairie as you can get...
