WWYM: mommy & me pajama pants

I'm excited to post today about a project I made for Lil Blue Boo's, What Would You Make series!  Ashley sent several bloggers two yards of a gorgeous floral print, and we were allowed to use it however we liked.  I loved the freedom of the challenge.

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.

Sweet pajamas, just like my girl.
