This particular pair of Lululemon Groove Pants started to wear between my legs. So I cut them just at the wear line and hemmed them up.
Viola! Fabulous Bikram Yoga shorts.
And with fabric as great as "Luon" (what is it? I don't know but it feels so nice on the skin), I couldn't let the bottom go to waste. So I checked the length against one of my son's pairs of pants and found it to be just right. I cut the center seam inwards and stitched it up.
I would usually use the waistband again for kid pants when upcycling, but, since it had already been used for my shorts, I used a bit of fabric with a piece of elastic inside to make a casing.
In making these, I left the width as it was. They are wide on him for sure, but I love the bell bottom look for the kids.
