How I Made a Sweats Skirt Out of Old Sweat Pants!
I have bunch of sweat pants that are worn and ugly and probably have a bunch of paint on them from work around the house. Well sweat skirts are becoming more and more popular but instead of buying one I decide to make it! It really is pretty easy with some entry level of how to use a sewing machine.
I started by cutting the seem between the legs.
Then turned the shorts inside out and lay it with the two cut sides matched up.
Then I used the sewing machine to stich from the top seam of the short to the bottom on either side.
Like I mentioned, this does not take a lot of sewing skills. All you need to do is sew straight lines to join the fabric. But even the most elementary use of a sewing machine does require some knowledge. Watching some videos on YouTube should be sufficient for this project or just knowing how to tread a machine! I am not a skilled seamstress by any means and this is the extent of my talent when it comes to sewing.
Finally, I hemmed the bottom and cut off some of the extra fabric that remained on the inside of the new skirt.
I paired it with a long sleeve cropped sweatshirt and sneakers!
