*updated - see pictures below
i'll have to get pictures of my final product up later. i need spencer to take them. i found this website from a friend's blog. it's a tutorial on making cropped pants out of a t-shirt or t-shirts. i successfully completed my first pair yesterday - i would have gotten them done on monday, but i had sewing machine trouble. i never did understand the waistband instructions on the website, so i just did my own. and i added a drawstring to help them stay up. seriously, though, i'm ready to go out and get a bunch more cheap t-shirts to make more cropped pants. i'm really happy with how they turned out. especially for a couple of t-shirts.
happy sewing!
definitely not perfect, but they're made from a couple of cheap t-shirts.
oh, and maybe i shouldn't admit this, but i never could understand the directions on the website for the waist band so i did my own. i also added a draw-string that i made out of t-shirt.
i think my next project will be making matching jumpers for the boys out of the awesome drapes behind me. what do you think?

I am totally going to try that! I may try to make some for my kids first, since I am not so good with sewing.
Look at you! You sewing mom of two! You look amazing by the way. I got your comment a while back, and just barely getting back to you. I am excited to start checking your blog. Your life looks amazing! Good to hear from you Faith.

Nice work sewing and by the way, I'm all for the curtain jumpers, Ms. Maria von Trapp. It's great to see you and your family. You guys look great. Such a cute family. Love - Sharlet

those look like some excellent yoga pants!! the only downfall...i have absolutely no sewing skills. quilting is the only thing i'm good at because it is sewing in straight lines, haha
very cute!
and definitely matching jumpers! ( :
Very impressive!! Although, I have to say it doesn't take much to dazzle me when it comes to sewing. You are the woman!!!!
i love that you made your own waistbands--i think you should totally admit that, so uh, thanks for owning it. those look really faith. nice work.
those curtains definitely sing "rain drops on roses" don't they? you're funny.
I really like the pants! What a smart idea to make pants out of t-shirts. Must be real comfortable. Good ideas. I'm still working on the last binding part of Brenden's quilt. It is such a long process. But quite rewarding. You are so talented!
