Remove the Belt Tabs and Waistband
Cut out the waistband along the bottom edge.
Cut Out the Pockets With a 5" Panel Below the Pocket and 1/2" Seam Allowance at the Top
Cut 3/8" Fringe Below the Pockets
Make Larger Fringe
Cut 12" panels from the legs and mark a 1/2" seam allowance at the top. Cut 3/8" fringe up to the seam allowance

Lay out the fringe and pockets. I overlapped the fringe with the outer edge of the pocket by 2 inches. Sew everything together at the bottom edge of the waistband.
Enjoy Your New Belt!
