Recycle those old PJ"s MAKE YOUR OWN!

I have had a pair on pj bottoms that I have been using for years. You know how it is, you finely find that one pair that are "oh so comfortable" and they are always the first you reach for in the clean clothes pile.

Well my old favorites had finally gotten to the point where they needed to become flannel dust rags. But I love those pants! So I will show you how to take that pair of comfy pj bottoms and make your own reusable pattern out of them. Never again will you have to fork over $40.00 for another pair when you can make your own for just a few bucks.

There are a few basic things you will need. You don't have to be a talented seamstress, but basic knowledge of a sewing machine and a few basic sewing tools are all you will need. Because I do a great deal of sewing, I have some items in my arsenal that you may not have, but don't let that stop you, these really are very simple to make.

Your going to need your old pair of pj bottoms that you want to recreate
a seam ripper

(Don't worry if you don't have that, you can use brown or tissue paper. Just as long as your paper is wide enough and long enough for your fabric pieces to fit on. Brown shipping paper can be purchased by the roll which will work fine)
