I played around with a few other designs, but today we will do stripes. |

Then I folded the fabric with the tape on and laid out a pair of sweatpants to use as my pattern. I cut them out. |

Allow the glue to dry. I really slopped the glue on there, to make sure I got good coverage, so it took a few hours for the glue to dry, it will crinkle up a bit as it dries. |

I topstitched the seams, because I like that look. |

Then fold the piece and sew from the bottom to the top of the curve. |

Once you have two legs put one inside the other with right sides together and sew along the “U” shape. |

Then hem the bottom and turn the top under for some elastic and you have some very comfy little sweatpants. |

The perfect little thing to go out and play in |

Kids always look so comfortable in sweats, and now they are totally customized as well. Have fun making your own prints! Enjoy! |
Such a neat idea! I really need to get over my fear of dying fabric, that is such a neat technique.
Love it! I want to make a pair – but am intimidated by making my own pant pattern. Yours look so perfect! I will try the dye technique on something for sure though! Thanks for sharing.

So cute! Great idea and tutoril. Thank you for linking this up to my party!
Seriously how do you DO that?!?! You are crazy talented and i'm seriously always amazed!! Thanks for the tutorial, I have the exact same issue with stripes!
Do you have to put glue on both sides or does it just seep through the fabric enough that will prevent the dye from seeping through the other side?
I only put the glue on one side, but I did use enough to penetrate the fabric all the way through.
Is there a way to do color patterns too? Say for instance black and yellow stripes?
