Update Edit: Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who supported the closet sale! Together we were able to raise $500 for Kaleidoscope Youth Center. I'm amazed by y'all!

    If you haven't thrown out the scraps from the brown pants, might I suggest you add a couple of triangle panels of that material to the side seams to get that A-line silhouette you're looking for? You could even do it on the inside seam so it's less visible?

    So much fun and good clean work ethic! You could hang the other quilt above the bed (cinder blocks allowing) for a cozier/zanier feel in the room. Quilt shops sell wood clips for this purpose or you can whipstitch a 'sleeve' across the back for a suspending rod. Also some general tips for shorts for all from experience. Draw the cut lines on while wearing them (or have someone else do it) then cut about an inch below that. Try them on again and see where you need to even out to get the line you want when worn. Lady curves can affect the line. For a roomier fit on the trouser shorts, you can inset a triangle in the side seam from the extra fabric before finalizing the hem/cuff. Also, for cutoffs, machine stitch a straight line about a quarter inch from the final edge - that way they’ll fray but without disintegrating. Also I always machine wash rayon (even vintage) inside out on delicate and air dry, and it hasn’t been an issue? Looking forward to seeing all the closets/treasures! Off to check out your eBay shop...

They should probably update their aesthetics a little bit but either then that just amazing.
