Sewing Tutorial: Refashioned sweat pants, still comfy but now cute

Is there anything more comfortable than a pair of sweats? They’re like my around-the-house uniform. I don’t wear them outside of the house, though, because they’re less than fashionable. Perhaps I should give them a refashion like Liz from Cotton & Curls did. She refashioned a plain pair of sweats into a fitted pair of lounge pants with ruching at the ankles. They’re still comfortable for loungewear, but now they’re cute, too. Go to Cotton & Curls for a tutorial showing how to do it.
