If you’ve been following along with my “Men’s Shirt Refashion” series, then like me, you may have some leftover scraps laying around. After sifting through my scraps leftover from all the upcycled projects I did so far, I saw a lot of potential for ways I could reuse them.
For this project, I paid a visit to my favorite local thrift shop. I had the idea for the cuffed legs and was on the hunt for a pair of pants when, lucky for me, I found not one but two pairs. Considering all the shirt cuffs I acquired, I took that as a sign to do two outfits.
I know I sound like a broken record! But I’m always trying to find ways to make my clothes versatile. So it’s no surprised that I figured out a way to make these two-piece outfits into detachable jumpsuits.
I LOVE jumpsuits but they’re pretty limited as to what you can do with them. Oh! and let’s not forget the bathroom woes! Eek!
Materials Used:
Casual Straight-Leg Pants
Men’s Shirt Remnants (Sleeves, Cuffs & Button Plackets)

Tip: For the pants, I’d suggest trying it on with the cuffs pinned to the hem before sewing them. The reason being is that the cuff will add on a few extra inches to the length. However, you can skip this step if you don’t mind the pants being a little baggy.
The finished outfits
This is a great way to alter pants that are too short or ones that need a little oomph. As for the tops, you could very well follow this tutorial and quickly whip one up from a yard of fabric.
Thoughts? Let me know what you think of this repurpose and which outfit is your fav!
