Refashioned project- Pajamas for a toddler

I know I have been missing in action lately.  It isn’t that I have had nothing to write about, it is that I have had so much to write about.  The garden is finally slowing down (too hot out there) and so I have more time to be here.

I will be posting a few of the things I should have blogged about since May in the next couple of days but here is a project I just finished.

Olivia is seriously growing out of everything I have for her.  She is in real need of pajamas and has been wearing little boys jammies too much lately so I went searching in my no longer needed but too cute to donate pile.  I also dislike store bought baby pajamas for two reasons: 1. I have a disdain for most mass produced clothing, 2. Store bought pajamas are never big enough in the seat for cloth diapered babies.

I had in my pile a few really soft infant receiving blankets which she is way too big to use but they are so soft that I did not pass them on.  The best part is that they are double layered so they will keep her warm in the arctic conditions that we must all sleep in to keep Poppa happy.

They also have already finished edges which I positioned to use as pant hems (no hemming required) and the opening of the boat neck done baby style.

Viola!  New pajamas, no money spent!

    I just found your site (from Whimsy love site) and I love these Pj's!! I would so love to know how you made these.. Do you or can you give the instructions.. I am new to sewing with a machine and just fished my first quilt. But my sis would love these for her girls and i think i could do it with some insight. Thank you..hweisenfels@yahoo.com
