I cut up a denim shirt that didn't fit me any more and made a pair of flashes that I enjoy wearing when I go casual.

Say, now that you're wearing kilts, you may not need your underwear. So why not cut the elastic out of a pair of colored boxers if you have them, stitch them into a loop big enough to go around your calf and snug enough to keep the hose up, and use the trunks to fashion flashes? Won't cost a penny.

You don't need elastic, really, though stretchy stuff is usually better. A flat cotton shoelace might do the trick, or if anyone wraps a present in that fat yarn, you can save it for your garters. Just sew your flashes into loops and pass the ties through. Make sure you can undo the knots and keep them tucked under the cuff of your hose - you've solved the problem.

Good luck with your project.
