  Step 1

  You cannot tell but the fabric is a lovely heavy rayon. Suitable for making a high-end luxurious top. You will want a pair of loose fitting, stretchy pants with an elastic waistband.

• 

  Step 2

  I had other plans for making a top but they were scrapped when I saw how the pants looked when I flung the legs over my shoulders.

• 

  Step 3

  Measure your pants against your torso to ensure you get the proper fit lengthwise.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut. I cut one leg, folded the pants in half and then cut the other leg so both sides would match.

• 

  Step 5

  Open seams at legs and crotch.

  (Yes, I carefully removed each thread because I needed that little bit of fabric for a hem. In this picture I began to serge the edges because they were unraveling).

• 

  Step 6

  Here is the garment with all the edges serged except the sides of the legs that I opened for the armholes. I left them undone because I was not sure I had the proper fit.

• 

  Step 7

  I tried it on for size and I like!

• 

  Step 8

  Sorry for the blur.

  Ironed down the edges and stitch the neckline and armholes.

• 

  Step 9

  bip,

  Step 10

  bop

  Step 11

  BAM!

  Step 12

  My new luxurious top! Believe me, it feels oh so good. I cannot wait to sport it. It is versitile, I can either dress it up or down. Thanks!
