Great Sewing Projects: Alter Jeans & turn T-Shirts into Yoga Pants and Skirts

My new (secondhand) sewing machine has temporarily led to a crafty craze. So I've been trawling the net for fun, easy and practical projects to attempt. Here are a few great ones I just had to share (ps. the first two links are from the amazing NotMartha):

I haven't had the guts yet, but this tutorial on taking in jeans looks incredibly professional. Frankly I may just stick to putting darts in the waistband. *chicken*

 I love this pair of Yoga Pants she made from T-Shirts based on this tute. SO awesome and easy, I now wish I'd KEPT all the oversized tees I get on the job. Gah!




It seems T-Shirts are generally darned useful. When you have enough Yoga Pants, use this tute to make skirts. 

Any favourite easy-peasy sewing projects to share?
