There was a little under a metre of fabric left after making this dress, just enough to make a pair of capri pants.
Using a tried and tested self-made trouser pattern, I shortened it by 30cm, curving the hems at the side seam for a bit of interest. To put them on, the pocket opens out, then buttons close. Easy-peasy.
Necessary, but not exciting sewing.
Update
I didn't explain the pocket closure very well, did I? Will a few more pictures help?
(Apologises for the fluff. Washed with a tissue, grrrh!)
I also found a very old pattern with quite good diagrams instructions.
See, it's really quite simple!

the curved hem is very effective - would like to see the pics of the closing, do you mean there is a button on the waistband? they look great
Sorry, didn't explain the closure very well, did I? I've added some pictures - hope they help!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
