This is my favorite pair of pajama pants. I have had them for who-know-how-long and I loved them to death, hence the tragic hole shown above. I think the unfortunate hole was caused by my big toe. Oops!
At first, mom and I found another pair (left) of flannel pj pants to replace the first ones, because I loved this pair (right) so much. Even then, I could not bear to part completely with the other ones. For a while I wore them, hole and all, in addition to wearing my new ones.
Today while I was reorganizing my room I went through some clothes. In the process, I ran across the beloved pair of pj's once again. I decided to repurpose them by making them into capri length pj's. Taking a pair of sewing scissors, I sliced off about eight inches from both legs, removing the hole and bringing them just below knee level. I hemed them and sured up most of the other seams with our trusty sewing machine. Before long, my pants were as good as new. Well, almost anyway!
See???
Rachel says that Frugal Girl (curious? click here.) would be proud of me. I'd like to think so. I am proud of me :) Besides, my favorite pj's have their lifetime extended a bit. I'm happy!
Well I'm proud of you lovely! :) I tried to re-purpose an old tee shirt by making it into a skirt, but it was to tight to make a decent skirt. I had to abandon it in my sewing box to puzzle over another day. I look forward to seeing the pjs with their new lease on life in August. :)
