Refashioned T-Shirt to PJ Pants

Hello.

My oldest son went through his wardrobe the other day
and gave me a whole heap of t-shirts that he no longer wears.
I thought I'd use some of them to make my little baby some new jammie pants.


I chose a light pink Quiksilver t-shirt and cut a piece of the logo out to add to the bottom of the leg.
It had a very small mark on the top so I added another little patch of the logo.


    

Then I chose a nice purple t-shirt that had a skeleton riding a bicylce :-\

I guess thats the only problem with using a boys/mans t-shirt for a baby girls project,
sometimes the subject matter doesn't match.

Lucky they are bed pants :-)

 


I used the hem of the t-shirt for the pink pants.


To get the picture positioned right on the purple pair I had to cut higher into the t-shirt. 
These ones I had to hem myself.


I made this pattern from an old pair of pants that I cut open.
I traced around them and was able to create a pattern piece that only has one inside leg seam.
This makes for a super quick and easy pair of pants that I can whip up in half an hour.

 

I must use a few more of the t-shirts he gave me to make up some more pants.
I love the result, so quick and comfy.

Linking up here.

Matching Nighty and 2 pairs of PJ's

Hello.

I went shopping at the op shop the other day and found a really beautiful sheet. It was made from brushed white cotton and was just so soft. It had the prettiest trim along the bottom with a pink velvet ribbon and a pink satin ribbon and it only cost me $3.  I thought it would be perfect for sleepwear as it's original use was for sleeping. This is what I turned it into.



I made my little baby these cute PJ's form this Kwik Sew pattern.
It wasn't actually a pyjama pattern but I thought that it would do.




I made the nighty for my 3 year old using this free pattern & tutorial.






And these PJ's I adapted from this pattern & tutorial. My 10 year old preferred PJ's to a nighty so I made up some bloomer style pants using a pair of shorts as a pattern.




I just love making matching outfits ♥




I have also made up a little sunhat with the same sheet and I still have material to make up some little shoes. I'll post about that soon...
