making 'yoga pants'

21 years ago

Hi, I'm new to your forum...and looking for some advice.

I took apart a pair of old "yoga pants" (the stretchy velour kind with the drawstring waist)...and made myself a pattern. I just can't see paying the price they want for them in stores ($50-$75...for sweatpants!!)

Anyway, is it possible to "buy by the yard" the stretchy ribbed band found on the bottom of sweatshirts? I have been internet searching for two days now, and nothing. I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Eggnest,

Try looking at the following website
http://www.lurasfabricshop.com/knitsandmore.htm#KNITS.

You will find some ribbing there. Hope it's what you are looking for.

All the best,
Nanna
