Burda Style For people who sew
Description
Basically, I took two pairs of old sweatpants, (I washed them before, I promise) and made a dress. I’m a librarian and I needed something professional but comfy, and this is great because it fits really nicely over about any type of shirt, so it works for any season.
Material Notes
knit sweat pants. buttons.
Difficulty

Looks fabulous and fits you so well. I too am curious about if you used a pattern or created it on your own.

OK, I don’t see it. How was this sweatpants in a previous life? Very impressive. Would appreciate a tutorial if you could manage it.

This is fantastic! You must let us know how you did it. So cute – and I love the fact you mentioned you washed them first! Good Girl!!! Three cheers for the always helpful, kind and resourceful librarians! I love them!

same here – i have a pair i never wear (because i’m too lazy to exercise) so maybe i should do something useful with them!

YAY! Librarians! Adorable and cute. I’m joining in the demand for a pattern. I need me a librarian sweat pants dress.
P.S. I’m one too.
