DIY Sweatpants
I had a little vacation coming up so I decided to whip up a pair of sweat pants to wear while traveling. It’s horrible to wear uncomfortable clothes while you’re stuck in a car or on a plane. I also ended up making these sweats reversible because I found this great fabric at the store!

-fabric – as I mentioned before, I’m using reversible fabric, but thats not necessary. about 2 yards. I had a bit of extra fabric, but I’d rather have that then being just short.
-an old pair of sweats – You could even just pick up some sweats that fit you from the thrift store. Even if they’re hideous, you just need them for the pattern.
-elastic
-pins
-sewing machine and
-serger -optional


At the part where it sticks out, make sure to pull at it until the seam is right on the edge.
Now cut around the pants, giving yourself about 1/4 inches of seam allowance.


Line up the top and bottom of the sweat pants. The pointy part of the pants should be a little bit smaller on this side now. Trim the fabric accordingly.

Make sure you have the right sides touching before you sew!
Sew along the curved edges.



Now pin up the inside of the legs. And sew!


Fold it in half length wise and then width wise and sew it up.









So comfy!
