Operation Fusion Pants

[soc_puppet]

Inspired by spite at the folks who buy plus-size clothing and turn it into straight-sized clothing, and also by needing more pants, I decided to start Operation Fusion Pants today.

Step One: Buy pants to fuse: Complete

Step Two: The Seam Ripper: Current step

Step Three: Contemplate the merits of hip-side pockets

Steps Four and onward: ???

Let's see if this works!

I'm looking forward to seeing how the alternate color on the side panels works out! Since I figured I wasn't likely to find two pairs of jeans that matched exactly without being the same make, I thought I'd lean into the mismatch and see how it looked :3b If nothing else, it oughta help me out with visual placement and stuff.

Thanks ^_^

I just basted the first leg, and it's so far, so good. I ripped the outside seams of Pants A open, so they're serving for the "base pants"; then I ended up cutting the inside seam of Pants B completely out, since seam ripping was taking too long on them, cut out the zipper to boot, and basted the entire leg of Pants B onto the leg of Pants A. It turned out way roomier than I need it, so I'm going to try with just half a leg (outside seam to inside seam) for my second try and see if that's any closer (as I'm hoping it will, for style as well as function). It certainly seems promising, though!
