Refashioning - Polo into kids pants

So my project to share today is of Kids Pants! Ever since I learned how to sew Pants/Pajamas/Leggings (they are all the same technique, just the tapering is different) I have been obsessed with making them for my kids, nephews and nieces! This is the first pair of pants I made for my little girl. Please feel free to comment and ask any questions you may have. :) Enjoy...

Start with your favourite shirt thats either too small or you don't wear anymore!
Cut out the sleeves
Cut the collar 
Cut it open in the middle
This is what you should have! You can stop here and just wear it as a Vest! or continue if you want it to be turned into Pants!
Now take the pants that fits your kid and cut it on the fold
Inverse the pants and cut the other side




Put the right sides together and sew the Top Sides
Now open them up and sew the inseam through the crotch



Ta.Da! You have a new pair of Pants!
P.s. These turned out more like leggings for my girl since the shirt was small to begin with and fabric wasn't enough!
