3 Pietra pants (Closet Core). Different versions & lengths. FUN rise, hem & pocket changes.

I finally got around to fixing the red linen Pietra pants I made last year! I modified the height of the waistline. I also made another pair of pants with leafy cotton and cropped them Capri length.
I had a thrifted denim skirt piece I had seam ripped from a bodice this summer and completed yet another UFO.... a pair of Pietra shorts. I took some liberties with the cutting and added a sneaky extra seam. Lots to see today: waist height lowered, hems trued and pockets pieces to save fabric.
