I don’t care how perfect your hair, nails or all-natural makeup may be, I don’t know one girl who doesn’t own a pair of:

...comfy, fat day, bloat day, live on the couch and eat ice cream, meditate and do sun salutation day pants.

As aptly noted on Luvinthemommyhood. The blog offers a tutorial on re-purposing old shirt sleeves into adorable, hip yoga-style capris that are as equally feel good as they are eco-friendly. (After all, you’re reusing clothes that you’ve already got!)

Regardless of whether one does yoga, or even eats ice cream for that matter (you're vegan, perhaps?), many of us still have that one pair of trusty trousers that makes us feel good, comfy and cute on lazy, stay-at-home days without having to resort to a hideous elastic-waist, cinched ankle sorta look. Dare I say the word…sweatpants.

So if you don’t yet have a pair, you should. You’re missing out! Run, skip, and click over to the website to get the easy instructions. If you are intimidated by the whole sewing part—don’t be. The tutorial is part of the blogs “newbie sewing series,” geared towards beginners.
