Have an extra large Tshirt that you want to transform into yoga pants? What about that pretty picture? You don't REALLY want to cut up the middle of it, do you?

First of all, you're going to want large Tshirt. I'm going to use this blue one to line a pair of pants I'm making out of a large white Tshirt.
-
First, cut off the sleeves.
-
Then cut off the collar. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
-
You're going to want to cut up the SIDES, not the middle of the shirt. Fold in half [wrong sides out] and sew until you get to the sleeve. This will be your crotch.
-
Do this to both sides of the shirt. The logo should be wrapped around the side of your leg, not cut in half.
This is both my legs, one inside out. I know the blue shirt is a little short, but that's fine. -
Pin up the crotch and sew.
-
Now you're going to want to make a waist band. I just used fabric from the blue long sleeved shirt.
Sew on. -
I made my waist band twice as tall in the back than in the front.
-
Now your pretty image isn't cut in two!

Yay! I was thinking there was probably a way to do this. Thanks for figuring it out and sharing.

No problem, I've been wondering about it myself until I finally actually thought about it for like twenty seconds.

You know most of us on these crafts sight when we use someone else tutorial give credit to that person when we use/tweek their idea or tutorial. Just thought I would let you know its a common coutisy. Just saw your tut on Crafster congratulations. (=

To tell you the truth, there's so many craft sites that I go to and the 'original' tutorial is everywhere, by a lot of different people, that I don't know which one I got it from. I assume you all know that I didn't quite have the idea to make pants out of tshirts [mainly because I have few shirts]
BUT this IS my tutorial, I didn't take it directtly from anyone, these ARE my words and MY pictures.

Didn't say you took mine hun. But if there are so many somewhere you got the idea from someone. Common curtosy to let people know where you got yours from. I learned how from a friend and thats why on MINE is says that. Once again its just a common courtesy.

Once again, I do not know where I have seen the 'original'... cut out and keep is a recent find, and I know I can rule cut out and keep, however, craftster is a possibility and a few other craft sites I have been visiting a lot longer. I'm sorry if I've offended you, but my point is that by looking at a lot of tutorials and pictures, I pretty much winged it with my own thoughts on how to do it myself, thus, this tutorial has come to take place in the world.

Rainy B: Not that this is any of my business but tara m. came up with the idea. You just changed it to a way you liked it. So yes. You kinda came up with it. tara was just saying that you should say something like. "Inspired by "name here." Something like that. Again. None of my business. I'm just saying.

To clarify a certain point, Tara m. did not come up with this idea...it clearly says on her tutorial that a friend taught it to her. And there are many older tutorials on t-shirt pants than her's. Such as this one from 2005 on livejournal.

Honestly, this idea has been around for a while. There are many "originals", but as rainy didn't follow any specific tutorial, that justifies this as her *own*. Not a recreation of anyone else's. If I make a cake, should I give someone credit for the idea of making a cake? No. It's mine because I made it how I wanted. Rainy, great tutorial. Don't take anyone's crap. ;]
