Cheap Easy Sew Pants

 I love t-shirt reconstruction.  This tutorial will show you how to make cute shorts that can be any length for about $2.50, and you do not have to be a master at sewing - I'm sure not.

Step 1 Materials

You will need a shirt, I am using an extra large craft one that I bought for 1.99 at Michael's craft store.  

You will also need a sewing machine or needle and thread, I like using a sewing machine though.

Scissors 

Pins

And extra material is optional.  

Lay your shirt out flat to start.

I tried to make basketball shorts as my second pair, I am not sure if they are very manly though.  I was aiming for manly.  I just made the 'u' shape much deeper to make the waist line higher, and the pant legs shorter.  I think that a larger shirt may have been in order to give the extra room that basketball shorts give.  But taking away the girly waist band was at least a start.

Thanks so much everyone!

Very clever!
If you make another pair, some additional photos in step 4 would be VERY helpful.
