I've had these pants for a couple of years now.
They're quirky and comfortable. And too big. I used to be able to roll and tuck the waistband and sort of keep them up but then the elastic wore out. I could have turned them to rags but I feel like they've got another year in them yet. Since they're much too big, they're perfect for an upgrade.
First, I cut off the elastic. It was a pretty wide band but there was enough left along the top to stitch an new, straight waistband and still be modest. I played with a lot of ideas for a new closure method and decided on a tie. I made a little loop beside each back pocket and added ties along the front. The tie feeds through the loops and then ties at the front.
