Before and After



These are the pajamas that Rachael has been begging me to buy for the last 4 months. I finally caved and bought the XS for her birthday. The shirt was fine, she likes her nightshirts to be big and baggy. The pants though? Major overhaul.



I used the pants from Simplicity 9186 OOP. Rachael decided that she wanted Capri length. I ended up completely cutting apart the pants and re-cutting. This was one alteration that actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. From the time that I cut the pajama bottoms apart to the time I handed them to Rachael to put on - 1 hour. She stood over my shoulder the entire time waiting!

I love that! And what a great sewing inspiration you are to her! Not to mention Major Mom points, I'm sure!

Good job on the refashion. Look how proud she is to wear them! Pat yourself on the back--'cuz she'll never forget this.

They are really too cute! What a great job on "re-making" them just for her.
