These are old Juicy cropped terry sweats
…a flirty harem effect
* NOTE: I did this to a pair of old Juicy velour sweats about 7 years ago & the hole has not gotten larger or frayed even through washings. But make sure to start out with a small slit & fold the ribbon to push it through if necessary.
Ridiculously easy …do it in 5 minutes …and Have Fun!

I bet if a person were lucky enough to have a sewing machine that does button holes that would be an awesome way to make sure the sweats didn’t fray.

Now, I can work with this DIY:) I have so many work out pants that somehow shrink on me and I still wear them because who is going to spend more money for work out clothes.
I walk into the gym looking like George Jefferson, everytime looking like I was running from a flood.
Thanks!

This is a great way to take winter pants and bring them into spring. Great project!
Andi
Awesome idea as always! Thanks so much for the fab inspirations. As you said, this will be perfect for my daughter’s sweat pants that are a bit too short now 😉
Kris
Not only are these cute you made them more flattering! Where do you find the time? AMAZING!
Brooke
Love this idea. I’m pretty tall, and I have so many sweatpants that are now too short (I guess I’m bad at laundry). I’m definitely going to try this 🙂
Alba
Wow!! awesome! great idea! xoxo

We used to do stuff like that with our team t-shirts in high school… tying the sleeves up the same way with ribbons to make them sleeveless! Cute idea!
Sassy Jen
This is a great, simple, DIY!
My problem is that I own no sweat pants so I have to buy some. Just like the DIY feather skirt, I had to sew a black skirt for the base since I had no black skirts. I have one weird wardrobe…

Oh WOW!! You have the best DIY’s. Wondering if something like this can be done to trousers that are too long? I mean, not just on the outer side but also on the inner side of the leg?? Wonder if they’ll have th same “harem” effect. Hmmm…

I have quite a few fleece and other fabric pants that just aren’t “right” (too baggy, too short, legs too wide, etc. etc.). I will try your DIY this week. Thanks for the tip. Hate to go out and actually buy harem pants, so this is a great idea for the summer………..thanks!
...love Maegan
Drollgirl: …I laughed at “small slit” too ..as well as “push it through if necessary” …yes, 12 year old boy humor.
…and PPPPPPPPPTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH to the big O on Thursday …dammit. The boss must have not approved. laugh it up.

This is pretty random but why haven’t you called my name for the Pour La Victoire shoe giveaway???
Is there a glitch in your computer or something? I wear a size 8 or 8.5? Why haven’t you asked me yet?
I keep waiting for the next post to be titled “Reiko from God’s Favorite SHoes…YOU ARE A WINNER!!”
What’s so hard about that Maegan?
Just kidding…a little:)
Happy Days!

I did this on a pr. of my little girls jeans last wk. They are a dark wash w/ sparkles, a really thin denim. I sort of cuffed them, but not too exact.I used hot pink ribbon and it looked SO CUTE! I think Im going to change out the ribbon this weekend with some red and white for the 4th.
Thanks so much for the idea!
Anna
That looked so easy to do, it’s not even real. Thanks for this tutorial. 🙂

I should have thought of this before I cut them into daisy dukes that I only wear around the house
