I did a lot of sewing this weekend. When I say a lot I mean it! Miss. S has been needing some more jammies for a while now. I've been waiting for them to go on sale but this weekend I got tired of waiting. After some serious brainstorming I thought of making some pajama pants for her out of some of her old receiving blankets. Total cost for 3 pairs of pants was $6. I bought a pattern and elastic and that is it. Here are the old blankets that my sister Jessy made for me.
And the new jammie pants after.
I used Simplicity Pattern #2734 and it really was quite simple. I even have a lot of fabric left over for when she gets a little bigger. Here they are on a sleepy model.
I loved that I could go through a closet and find something old and turn it into something new. It was so much fun.
Tomorrow I'll show the other sewing project I worked on!

Sorry this week has been post free. I came down with the worst cold of my life last Friday. So everything else has been put on hold. The bed was left unmade, dishes undone. Toys were left out, and of coarse the blog was unattended to. I'm starting to feel better though so maybe I'll have something fun for tomorrow.
I took Miss. S to Orange Cup today. It is a frozen yogurt shop kinda like a Pinkberry (but I think it is better). This was her first experience with the tangy sweet goodness that it is. After each bite she looked at me with excitement in her eyes and exclaimed "That's good!" and then she would grab for the spoon again. Ahhh a girl after my own heart. I love how much she talks these days.
