This is a great way to transform a pair of sweats that may be a bit
short or unflattering into track pants. I personally find this style
more flattering with running shoes as well…which I wear a lot. You can
also do this with sweatpants your littles have started to out grow.
These make for great stylish play pants and they don't get dirty and
ripped at the hem.
Step 1: Use a pair of pants if you have them as a pattern, otherwise
free hand it. Make sure to leave about an inch for seam allowance. I cut
about 3 inches off the bottom and cut only from the inside because I
didn't want to mess with the outer seam.
Use some ribbing for the bottom. I folded mine in half and ironed it
flat. Mine was about 8 inches, so folded in half 4 inches. The width
was enough to fit around my calf plus 1 inch for seam allowance.
With right sides together sew around the bottom edge. Leave about 1/2
inch over as shown in the picture to sew the leg seam up. As you sew
make sure to pull the elastic ribbing so it fits all the way through. If
you run out of room just sew some little pleats along the way. The
folded edge should be the bottom of the pants.
It will look like this when finished.
Last sew the inner seam up including the ribbing. I start from the
ribbing and gradually met with the original seam. Cut any excess seam
allowance.
Great play pants.
