Repurposing Day 29: Blanket Pants

I can't believe I only have one day left in my 30 days of repurposing challenge! I'm already planning my next challenge for December. I'm excited to start something new! Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for upcoming months!


Today, I'll be showing you how I made a pair of pajama pants out of a soft, fuzzy baby blanket.

This won't be a full tutorial since I used the same method for my sock monkey pants, so you can refer to that for more details!

Here is the blanket I started with.  A soft pink baby blanket with ballerina slippers on it. Lula loves ballerinas and we have a ton of these little blankets, so I figured we could cut one up!

I grabbed a pair of pajama pants for my pattern

Used it to cut 2 pant pieces on the fold (more details here)

Your pieces will look something like this

Sewed it up according to the tutorial and added elastic for the waist...

And we now have a new pair of cozy and thick pj's perfect for winter!

The ballet slippers are perfectly displayed on the side of the pant leg (I was worried they might look funny!)

One day to go!
