Sally, my rather large friend, asked me to shorten some slacks for her and make them into Bermuda style shorts. They were made of patchwork cotton and really novel.
So I shortened them and since Sally had no use for the leftover legs, decided to make some shorts for myself out of them.
I did, and I proudly told Sally when they were finished that I had made some comfortable shorts out the legs of her pants.
I watched her face get a little tight as she said ' I am sure they are very nice' and started talking about something else.
This had me puzzled for a while till one day the little lightbulb went off....
few people would be pleased to know that the lower part of their pants would be sufficient to make a pair of comfortable shorts for a grown up person.
Silly me.
I still have the shorts. Faded and fraying but still ever so comfortable.
