Pants from Other Pants

Greetings, crafters! Long time reader, first time poster.

I have a pair of cargo capri pants that fit GREAT at the waist and hip -- which is a tough thing to find, when you're a "curvy pear". I looked around for a tutorial on how to make other pants using my pants as a base, but almost all of them wanted me to break apart my current pants to make a pattern. No way! A couple of places mentioned using masking tape, but I couldn't find a tutorial. So I went ahead and made my own.
