As per my previous upcycle I had also picked up a few nighty's at the markets that I thought I would upcycle to pj's for my girls.
Grace picked this pink one:
First I found one of Grace's old nighty's that she loves and turned both nighty's inside out and folded them in half:
Then using a marker I traced around the night and cut it out. Now to just pin both sides and sew:
Pin and sew the hem at the bottom of the nighty:
For the sleeves, I lay both nighty's on top of one another and traced around the sleeve and cut:Sew across bottom of the sleeves, pin and sew to nighty:
Ta Da!!!! and here is my cheekie little model once again!!!
I have another nighty that is alot thinner and I'm thinking of making them into a night shirt and matching shorts.
Stay tuned and Happy Sewing!!!!!!
