As much as yoga pants are not the first items on many people’s lists of things to sew, making these wardrobe practical wears is just as rewarding as sewing fancy party dresses. Yoga is essential in helping with stresses of children, work, or school for the modern woman. The best workout exercises require yoga jogger pants that fit right, and there is no better way to ensure this than making your own.
This guide will help you create impressive, long lasting yoga pieces.
Things you will need
• Fabric
• A pair of old, fitting pants
• Sewing machine
• Measuring tape
• Marking chalk
• Rotary cutter, cutting mats, and weights
• Needles
• Thread
• Ball point pins
Instructions
1. Step 1- Measure
Determine the size of your old, fitting pants to know the measurements you will use to create your new yoga clothing.
2. Step 2- Select fabric
Find a jogger pant pattern you like and get the fabric required to achieve it. It doesn’t matter whether you utilize old clothes or buy a new material, as long as your choice is either synthetic or cotton, which are the best fabrics for yoga pants.
3. Step 3- Wash
Once you have the chosen fabric, wash, and iron it prior to sewing the new yoga jogger pants. These will prevent shrinkage that occurs after washing newly sewn yoga pants.
4. Step 4- Use the old
Turn your old pants inside out to see the seams clearly. Stick one of the yoga pants’ legs inside the other. Fold your fabric to create two layers before placing it on a table.
Place the pants (folded) onto your folded fabric and trace the old pants’ outline onto the fabric using marking chalk. Create two front pieces by cutting out the fabric where marked.
Flip your old pants and place it on the back section of the fabric. By using the aforementioned process, cut out two back pieces.
Sew top right corners of the two back pieces and the two front pieces to create one back piece and one front piece. Create your new pants by sewing inseams of the front and back piece together.
5. Step 5- Waist band
To keep your new pants in place, sew the right fitting waistband onto the yoga pants edges.
Conclusion
Making new jogger pants is not as hard at it seems. By using the above guide, you can create yoga pants that are not only comfortable to use but that will also serve you for long.
