Don't you love it when you find the perfect pj's????
Don't you hate it when you wreck them????
I had these great pj pants:
There were pretty, they were soft, they were comfy, they were warm. They were everything you could ever want in a pj pant.
And then I spilled something on them :( and they were relegated to the back of my closet never to be worn again. Boo hoo.
I took a good look at them the other day though and realized that they only had an inside leg seam. You know what that means....fabric!!!
I cut them up the inner seam and layed them out flat.
And then I cut them into the shape of a tank top and sewed them back together...
All it needed next was some lace collar pieces and some pretty lingerie elastic for the straps, and voila!

I haven't decided yet if this will just be a pj top now or if it's something I can actually wear in public. It does look kind of cute with a warm little cardi over top.
The moral of the story, always look at everything as a big piece of fabric before you let it go. You never know, it may get a second chance at life!
Are you a nightie or a pj pant gal? I want to know! Leave a comment below~

Saw you are Someday Crafts linky today. This is great - you did a fantastic job. I love to reuse fabric from things that don't fit or have stains, like yours. I think it looks great.
Are you kidding??! That is adorable. I would never think of doing anything but whining that the pants were ruined. :-)
What a great fabric save! I love how it turned out. =)
This is fabulous! I love how you have re-used them to make a great top! I am definitely a PJ girl - I love finding the perfect pair of PJ bottoms!
I would have never thought about this! It turned out so cute! :)
I love this! What a great idea! For me, it depends on the day and how I'm feeling so I guess I'm BOTH a pajama pants and a nightie type of girl ;-)
How cool! I love to sew and repurpose things into new things. This is a great idea as I could use some lingerie and don't want to pay the high prices! ;)
Thanks for posting!
