My daughter is growing up and leaving the blue jeans almost as new so I took one that was too short to make her a panty with a Minnie Mouse motif. Minnie Mouse is Mickey's eternal black mouse girlfriend, who is currently wearing a red dress with white dots and yellow shoes. She is one of my daughter's favorite characters, and now she doesn't want to take off her panties.

The Materials to be Used
Among the materials to be used are my daughter's blue jean that was short, two threads (black and red), rubber band, knitting needle, scissors, some stones or something decorative that you have.
Development
- We put in the length we want it to fit and cut out, the two pieces we cut out will be used to make the front and back of the panties.

- We measured to make the strips, in my case I made it out of rubber, but if you have any left over from the ones you cut out you can make them out of blue jean.

You did so well, I find altering clothes much harder then sewing something new from scratch. ANd your trousers alteration is beautiful, the new fit (not sure how it is called in English,overall, dungarees?) is sooooo cute. And the pink Mini mouse is a perfect decoration for a girl. Really lovely 😍
Gracias por tu comentario. Si parece mas sencillo transformarla que hacer uno nuevo, de hecho no he podido coser tengo unas telas y me da cosa dañarlas.
