T-Shirt Shorts

Ruined a pair of old knit shorts I used to clean and paint around the house.  Almost went out to Kmart or somewhere to replace them but decided to use a Benetton USA super oversize T-shirt that I received as a gift for a purchase over 15 years ago.  I hardly ever wore it, way too big, no time to sew before now.  The following is how I used a large pajama bottom pattern to make them into a pair of much needed slouch and sleep shorts. Very comfy!

Step 1: Lay out the pattern.

Once you find a large enough T-shirt, this one was a long XX large, just lay out the 2 pajama bottom or short pattern bottoms that allow for an elastic waistline.  I had to overlap some of the pattern at the side seams, but not by much and the pattern was large to begin with.  I just knew to be sure to make the seams a skant 1/2" instead of the usual 5/8".
