Carbon Creations: T-shirt Pants

Pinterest strikes again!! I got this tutorial and waited patiently until I got a sewing machine for Christmas!

I changed it from the tutorial a little.

Yay! Sewing machine!
My workspace is small, but workable.

But back to the pants.

Materials:

Sewing machine and related things (thread, bobbins, whatnot)
Oversized old t-shit
Scissors
Rolator mat and cutter (not necessary, but nice)
Pins

1. Find a clean overisized t-shirt. This shirt is the BF's. We don't go to the University of Massacusetts but his sister almost did and he ended up with the t-shirt. It got a hole in it and it became mine. Very comfortable. It's an X-L. I wear a size 6 and it seemed to work perfect. They've stretched out after wearing them for a couple hours but still wonderfully comfortable.

2. Cut off the sleeves. (But don't throw them away!)

3. Cut off the collar. (You can pitch this.)

4. Cut the shirt all the way in half. Make sure you measure so they are even.

5. Flip the shirts so the open sides are facing away from each other. The places were the sleeves used to be are together.

6. Turn them inside out. Keep the "sleeve" sides together.

7. Pin and sew up the "sleeve parts". This would be were the pants go together in the middle. The crotch, if you will.

8. Sew up the sides.

Right side out. Almost look like pants! If you try them on at this point you will realize they don't go up high enough. It's revealing and indecent. Icky.

9. The sleeves come back. Cut them open along the seam and cut them down into rectangles. Salvage enough material as possible so they stretch the whole circumference of the pants.
