Does your fabric ever speak to you? When I opened Ashley's lovely package, the pretty print told me it wanted to become pajama pants ... a pair for me, and a pair for baby Ruby.
I used a Made by Rae's Big Butt Baby Pants pattern for Ruby's pants and drafted a pattern for the mama-sized pj's from a pair I already owned. For a comfy waistband on my pants, I opted for elastic thread. There may need to be some adjustments here, since when I was attempting a little photo session, Ruby kept repeatedly pantsing me. Apparently, a shirred waist is a little too flexible for my lifestyle with two busy toddlers.

So beautiful! Great idea!
A clever way to use the fabric! Very pretty.
I can't believe how much Ruby looks just like Oscar! They are too cute!
I'm swooning over this fabric, and it made gorgeous jammies - you're right! so sweet & clean & simple. I really love the cuff along the bottom too - it was a nice touch!
Those are so cute, and Ruby is gorgeous! I may have to dust off my sewing machine and give these a try!
Adorable pjs! You do such a great job dreaming up projects!
Haha, I am reading the comments. Don't know if you read russian, but I *think* that one says "That is so cute!"
I love love love this one. By the way, I just posted a link about a great deal on I See Me! books :)
scratch that, she meant "it is lovely!"
I really love this! And they look so comftorable! Pjs are on my to sew list but I have been putting it off because I was a little intimidated but now I think I will go through with it!
love chubby baby feet!
I want those. In that exact fabric. SO calming and cozy!
I love it!
These are so stinking cute. The picture of your little one looking up at you is so precious. :)
Super cute!! I just kept thinking, why the heck didn't I think of that!? I'm off to make Sam, Soph & me some immediately.
Hi Jill, I found your blog following the WWYM on LilBlueBoo: I think you had a great idea for that fabric: you and your baby look so cute in your matching pajama pants!!! :)
That fabric screams PJ pants to me too, love it! Your idea for the comfy waist was genius too! Love that you match your baby :). Great project, love yours best!
I think these are awesome, soooo cute. How you picked just one thing to make I will never know. Usually when I get new fabric there are so many ideas ramming around in my head I can never decide on just one. Great job!
Just have to say, i love your blog!!!!
I am working on a dress that involves shirring at the top and I am having the hardest time!! It doesn't seem to be getting tight enough. Do you have any tips you could share with me? Thanks!
Love these!
love these, so cute and what lovely fabric!!
they are lovely! and i had to laugh, i wore a shirred waist skirt today and my 12 month old deskirted me while i was washing dishes! thank goodness we were alone.
Oh my gosh. That is adorable. I love it.
I have the same trouble w/ a shirred skirt I wear!
A clever way to use the fabric!
Oh, your pajama are really beautiful ... and your little one so pretty and cute !
