Comfy retro pajamas

How I Made it

I took apart a pair of lounge pants that I like and made a new pair. I wanted the waist to be a little lower so I adjusted the waist line before I cut the new pair. Then I appliqued a peace sign on the t shirt using a scrap of the pants fabric. Comfy and cool.

Tips and Tricks

  • Whenever using a pattern made from other clothing, make sure you add seam allowances.
  • You can also change anything on the new pair. I lowered the waist on these pants.

Good note on the seam allowances. A few of my first projects ended up wonky because I hadn't accounted for it. Love the peace sign applique.
