I bought them extra long, for £2, in a second hand shop, so I could use the excess length to make the flap pockets.
Rather than try to sew neat buttonholes I cheated by sewing buttons on the flaps and snap fastenings inside them.
Rather than mix my dyes together I used half a pack of Terracotta Dylon machine dye first to get the pink colour component.
I followed it with half a pack of Antique Grey colour. The reason for this was to get a slightly uneven coverage which gives a nice illusion of wear and fading. in the third image [taken with a white fabric for reference] I have 'pushed' the colour contrast so you can see it. You'll also notice how the pink shows up in direct light but not in shadow.
total cost £11 !
Total time 3 evenings.
