How to cut the elastic off the bottom of sweatpants.

I had never thought about doing this until my nephew asked me to do it for him. With sweatpants that have the tight elastic cuff on the bottom, they now become straight legged and baggier. They are definitely more comfortable without that tight elastic around your ankles.

There are several different ways to do this but I always like the easiest method possible. This means you simply cut off the cuff with a good pair of fabric scissors. The cotton sweatpants won't fray after cutting, and you don't have to do any sewing.

Try it out and let me know if you like the look of your baggier, more straight leg sweatpants.

Easy and effective, as always!
