Lounge / Workout Shorts From a T-shirt

I’m using this blue shirt as lining for a white pair of pants I’m making.

Cut off the sleeves:

Cut off collar:

Now. Instead of cutting straight up the middle, cut up the SIDES.

(sorry for the bad picture)

Now you have the front and the back of the shirt seperate.
Take the front, fold in half WRONG sides OUT, and sew up the open side until you get to the sleeve, which will be your crotch.

That’s both my legs, one is inside out. The blue shirt is a little short, but that’s okay, I only needed it because I didn’t want people seeing my panties.

Pin up the crotch and sew:

Make a waist band and sew to pants:

I made my waist band twice as tall in the back than the front.

Now the image on your shirt isn’t cut in half, it wraps around your leg!

It says live united, my dad gave me a ton of shirts and a few pairs of pants that he didn’t want. I hope the pictures aren’t too big.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful! I’ve seen WAY too many people saying ‘Oh I made these awesome pants, but I miss that beautiful [tree, owl, cat, ect] that was on the shirt’
