Using scissors, cut the bottoms of the bottles about 16cm high. Now cut off the lower part of the trouser legs. However, these should be about 2.5 cm longer than the cut bottle bases. Then turn the tubes inside out. Then cut the corners round on the side of the interface. Then sew or glue this side closed.
Now you can turn the bag inside out again, sew on a belt loop and place one of the bottle bottoms inside. The bottles play the role of planters and are intended to collect excess irrigation water. Accordingly, you can place your flowers or plants directly in their pot into the bottles.

Then continue cutting along the bottom edge of that waistband until you get to the other side seam, where you cut down again. Leave all belt loops intact when cutting. What should now be left are the part with the back pockets and the entire waistband from button to buttonhole.
Using the seam ripper, remove the belt loops and attach them to any part of the apron with pins. Since these loops are intended for hanging tools, you should also attach them horizontally. Then sew them in place with a simple seam and by hand. If you want, you can now sew (or alternatively glue) bias tape along the edges.
