like my new yoga pants? (and my dirty feet?) well, actually, they're not very new. nor were they always pants. originally they were this cotton jersey skirt bought way back when in 1999 (don't ask me why i remember. i just do.):
i didn't like the sacrificed mobility of the long skirt and it had also ripped under the elastic, probably from having worn it as a maternity skirt. oops...
my solution: snip up the middle, sew up the new legs...
...move the elastic a bit down in the front so as to cut off the ripped parts...
...pin and serge off the extra fabric in the front crotch area (hi, munchkin!)...
you can find all the exciting details on my blog. enjoy the rest of your monday!

Very clever. Those long skirts can be sometimes tricky to wear, thanks for tip what to do with them! :)
I love this idea! I hadn't thought to refashion yoga pants to a skirt! I bet it would be super comfortable for around the house!

I was confused lol! But I'm sure you could take pants and make it into a skirt. :)
