Hi all!
Happy New Years Eve! Herein lies my last refashion of 2016. It turned out preetttyyy great:

I'm kind of addicted to pajama pants. My collection is getting a little out of control. But how could I say no to these... |

*Sigh* I can't get this picture to rotate. But dogs in bowties and party hats! TOTALLY appropriate for NYE right? Problem: "Extra Small." Booty does not equal XS. |

I unpicked the seams that were making the elastic casing; not all the way, just a bit on each side, and cut the elastic in half. |

Then I cut the outside seam on each leg, leaving me with pants that were totally open on the sides |

This black jersey skirt was hanging out in the stash, so I cut panels from it to add to each leg. I sewed them in and serged all the edges |

Then I added a little extra elastic to each side. Yes I know the elastics aren't the same size. I am lazy. Then I folded all the edges of the casing over and sewed everything back down. |

PLEASE ignore my goofy face, messy office, and husband's foot, and focus your attention on my fabulous 'new' tuxedo-stripe party-dog pajamas! |
A happy, healthy 2017 to everyone!

Totes adorbs!!👍👍🎉🎉
Love the alteration. If you can sew no fit = no problem.
I don't think you can have too many lounge pants, especially during the holiday break. Great refashion.

Thanks ladies! I am loving them so much; literally wearing them as I type this. They turned out even better than I hoped!
