Since I sew by hand, I won't be doing anything terrifically fancy. These are dress slack I got too big for; so some of the leftover will be used to expand the waistline up a size (see photo for how I recently did this with a pair of Swrve pants: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bethness/21799276151/)
I will likely just hem them, gather in an inch or two on each leg and add a 1" wide strip with buttons and buttonholes (and yes, I know how to make buttonholes by hand as well -- thanks Mom!). Once I cut down the legs I'll have plenty of material left to make them into plus-two-and-a-halfs or so.
