Repurposed Sweatshirt Pants for Kids

"Create your child’s fall and winter wardrobe in a flash without even using a pattern! All it takes are old adult sweatshirts, fleeces, and sweaters! Cut off the sleeves, trace around a pair of fitting pants, make a few easy fitting adjustments and just sew the legs together (and an elastic waistband). You save time because the hems and cuffs are already made for you and you don’t have to measure or cut out patterns! So fast, so easy, and totally free!"
