These were my favorite pajamas in college. They are the softest, comfiest cotton, and in such a fun pink print! I wore them until they ripped, then patched them (look closely!), and wore them until they ripped again . . .
Before getting married, my mother tried to make me throw them out, but I think John overheard the conversation and intervened. :) I did promise not to wear them as a married lady, but I wasn't ready to trash them yet. And now I'm glad that I didn't!
I've been thinking about making Gemma a skirt from it for about a year now, but it's really best that I waited until she was a walker! After finding this fun pin on pinterest, I chose skirt tutorial #13 . . . the Layer Cake Skirt from Prudent Baby. :) It was easy and fun!
I do like how the tutorial suggests using three different fabrics, but I only used the one this time. And even though it says to cut 44" long strips of fabric, the pieces I got from the pajama pants were only 34" long, and they still made the skirt plenty full for a little girl Gemma's size! It only cost me $.99 for the elastic waistband . . . and after I'd purchased that, I wondered if I could have just reused the elastic from the pajamas!
So . . .
Isn't it sweet?
How do you get in?
We've had so much rain this summer that the grass has been surprisingly green. :)
Need I even bother saying it? The skirt is pink, so of course Gemma Grace loves it, too. :)
