Another pet peeve
Today, I feel like I've accomplished plenty. Between watching 7 kids, I've managed to sleep in, do six loads of laundry, clean the house, upstairs and downstairs (I guess I should say straighten since I cleaned everything earlier this week), make two pair of pajamas, and now blog. Now that I've boosted me up, onto the blog story. Below is one pet peeve that I have of Jake's pajamas. Somehow they end up three inches too short.
I know that pajamas aren't seen and are only worn to bed. But seeing this every night really bugged me. I guess you can add that to my OCD list. So this morning I pulled out the flannel I bought over three years ago (on sale for a dollar) and was going to make him a pair that was long enough.
After measuring him and it said to make a small, I figured he always bought a large and proceeded with the large. The results were hilarious. Both Jake and I could fit in them. So here is the second try.
Mission accomplished. Tomorrow will be my pair. Although finding the size is another situation.....

an easy way is to take a pair of pjs that already fit in the top part. lay it on the fabric and trace around each side (front and back). Make sure to add 1/2 inch all around and 3 inches to the top to allow for the elastic. Then just draw (cut) a line straight done for how long you want the legs, adding 2 inches for the hem. Most pj patterns have tapered legs. This way you'll get wider straight leg pjs. Cheaper than buying a pattern.
Oops...I hate it when things shrink!!
