EASY BABY PAJAMA PANTS

Everybody needs new pajama pants for the holidays.

Now you can take one of your old tees and turn it into something cozy and fun for your little one!

Today's project has two sources. Be sure to check them out.

HAVE FUN!

1. Identify an appropriate t-shirt or sweatshirt. (or just get a yard of some of your favorite fabric and fold it in half)

2. Fold a pair of baby’s pants with crotch sticking out and trace. I have outlined what it should look like for you. With this placement of the cut, you will not need to hem the bottom. (if you use a yard of fabric instead, you can just do a simple turn under hem to finish the bottom)

3. Cut on your traced line.

4. Cut a second pant leg from the other side of the shirt. Look for the arrow on the left in this picture to see how I used my first pant leg as a guide.

5. You have two pant legs now, right?

6. Place right sides facing each other and pin. Sew along curves.

7. Reorient the pants and you’ll see that you just have a crotch to sew up and a waist to fold over and sew. Leave a space to thread the elastic through.

8. Insert elastic, sew waist closed, and you are done!
