 The Steps


1. Cut the shirt down the seams of each side and separate the front from the back.
2. Fold one of the pieces in half and trace on one pant leg. **I used another pair of Nixons’ pants as my pattern.
3. Repeat the process for the other leg.
4. Next, unfold the pant legs and lay them on top of each other, facing together.
5. Then sew along the hip seams on each side.
6. Next, open the pants and sew down the legs.
7. Then hem the bottom of the pant legs.
8. Last step is the waist. Fold the waist down and sew around it leaving a space to put in the elastic. 
9. After you put the elastic through, sew the seam closed.
10. Then turn them right side out aaaannnnnd waalaa! A new pair of pants!
