It’s Friday!

I’ve been crazy busy lately, but I’m excited to show you what I’ve done for this week’s 49-Cent Friday post.

I started out with these purple sweatpants. I love the color, but they are a bit snug, so I don’t wear them all that much, only for lounging around the house…

I like the velvety material and especially love the color. For 49-cents, I just couldn’t pass them up. But like I said, they were a bit snug…

I started out by making a long cut through the inseam of the legs and crotch…

Then I matched up the legs together in the front and in the back, and pinned them like so…

Then ran each side through my machine…

Once that was done, I trimmed off the excess material…

Then I cut off some of the length…

…and folded and pinned…

Then ran that quickly through my machine…

And that’s it!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

I thought I’d go with a quick and easy refashion this Friday, since I’ve been spending most of my sewing time on the refashion I’ve been working on for the Refashion Runway Competition you’ll get to see tomorrow!

I’ll be posting the tutorial for my refashion here, but you can see the before and after pictures, as well as all of the other contestants’ refashions on Beth’s blog, The Renegade Seamstress!

Be sure to vote for your favorite!

I’m so excited! I just can’t wait to see what everyone else has come up with!

Have a great weekend!
