I needed shorts. I wanted them to show my figure and not ride up! These are so very soft and fit perfectly. And as with most things I make...a great way to recycle.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 T Shirt
  • Notions: Thread , Scissors, Pins, Sewing Machine
  • 1 Pattern

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    buy a pattern for leggings(I wait to get mine on sale for $0.99). Cut out full pattern, and fold to one size bigger than you are.

  2. 2

    Prep shirt by laying it flat(iron?) and make sure bottom is lined up: front and back. Feel seams with your fingers to be sure everything is lined up right, and no folds in the middle. Pin pattern in place(waist under neckline). Fold up extra length(making shorts, not pants!). Cut it out!

  3. 3

    Shorts are so easy to make! Follow the directions in pattern. And there you have it in less than an hour!
