My daughter had this pair of sweat pants that she had used to help paint the chicken coop and in the inside of the house and various other projects. So they were paint stained in places. She also put on a growing spurt recently and they had become too short for her. So I found I had two choices. Toss them out because lets face it her sister would never want to wear them or as she put it save them for me mom, they are my favorite pants.
So I got creative. I removed the ankle cuffs. No paint on those and they were in good condition. Then I cut out the cute glittery words and accents on the pant legs. How she managed to not get paint on those I will never know but the designs being paint free are the only thing that made this t-shirt upcycle possible.
Once that was done I played around with placement until we both liked it then I ironed on the designs to a t-shirt I bought from the local craft store when they were on sale. Then I sewed the ankle cuffs to the sleeves and satin stitched around the sweat pants designs to give it a puckered wavy look.
She loved it and I got to be a bit creative today. Win, Win.
