Adaptations by Anna - Bringing New Life to Old Pants

I had a few conversations with this awesome seller who is also upcycling old clothing into new clothing.  Take a look at some of her clever creations!

This button wrap shirt can also be worn as a skirt...

Gentleman's trousers are transformed into a darling pencil in the pants skirt

I'm always looking out for good upcycling examples.  Taking the time to find the potential value in something that is usually written off as useless is an activity that we rarely consider anymore, but it is those "old and worn out" things that have the most character and personality.  I look at the pencil skirt pictured above and think, what would the former owner of those pants think if he saw that skirt? Ooh la la!
