I loved your idea. I have made made my niece a pair from an old men's dress shirt and also from the sleeves of long-sleeved t-shirts. They are great from the long-sleeved shirts because we can roll and unroll the at the cuffs and extend the amount of time she can wear them. Thanks a bunch for the idea!

I think this is a good idea. I loved it so much i have made 2 pairs for my 2 boys. They use them for pajamas. I also made a shirt to match with the upper part of the left over shirt.

How funny! I made my own shirt sleeve-pants prototype yesterday :) It was a failure, but only because I messed up on the rise. My little one would be "jailin'" badly if he wore them.

Alas, maybe I can find a wee-er wee one to wear them.

I searched this morning to see if anyone had written about this - to confirm I was on the right track and to show me where I went wrong - and there you were!

I'm not downloading your pattern, though, because I plan to sell my pants at a local shop. I wouldn't want to infringe!

Cheers!

Hi Shannon,
I just saw your tutorial and was loving every minute of it, especially when your little girl stops by to take a look, thats just the realiy of a sewers life with children!! I thought if you didn't want to hand sew the elastic casing closed what you could do is: instead of folding the casing closed before sewing the crotch, sew the crotch first then fold over casing. Next, sew casing shut leaving about 1-2 inches open to insert the elastic. Last insert elastic and finish by sewing the opening shut. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for your tutorial!!

Awesome idea!!!!

Great idea! Ik made a jeans jacket for my 1 year old son from an old jeans of my husband. What's so nice about it: the fabric is already "worn".

Super job!! I made some baby pants from sweater sleeves several months ago. I've also made lots of t-shirt pants and blogged about them here and here

Hello!
I really like your how to. I was wondering if I could translate it in French and add it to my list of how to as explained in my french post (http://www.petitcitron.com/index.php/form_howto.html)
Of course, your website would be quoted and there would be a link!
Thank you,

Best Bloomer Breeches (from dress-shirt sleeves) tutorial I've found thus far. The rest didn't have enough detail on the measurements needed for the crotch transition. This was very helpful. Thank you!

I also don't have a serger so I use pinking shears. It's what was used before broad availability of serger machines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinking_shears

Those are awesome! I made my daughter a skirt from men's dress shirt sleeves once that was so cute--but I never thought of pants!

Hi...I arrived here from the Instructables site/aka/How to Make a Tandoori oven. Go figure eh? *grin*

Anyhoo's, I am way beyond the Mummyhood, sewing my children's clothes...they are all grown up now but I sure could have used a website like yours when I was sewing clothes for them, for all the fantastic ideas you have on here. I was fortunate enough to have taken sewing in high school ( yes, it was a mandatory course back then ) but at least it gave me the rudimentary skills. Which is why I am writing to you now. ( Nice seguay huh? )....that folded over twice seam you mentioned in the video, to hide the rough edges on both sides and stop fraying, is called a "flat-felled" seam. Absolutely essential in flannel pj's, robes and childrens clothes that get washed over and over again. :)

Kudos,
Sheryl

How fantastic! I was walking around on the weekend making my little girl laugh, as i had my legs stuck in the arms of an old top - saying dont they make great pants! What a great way to reuse something - im a newbie sewer so i will definately try your sleeve pants!
