fast asleep in a rose garden

You know when you see one of those great ideas and you say, "why didin't I think of that"?

Turning vintage sheets into pajama bottoms - brilliant.
I didn't waste any time once I saw this idea and inspiration - click here for the "don't get out of bed tutorial".
I knew I had a couple of vintage sheets that would be perfect when I saw the tutorial for the sleep pants.

I used my favorite quick and easy pant pattern, cut the pattern slightly larger along the outside leg seams.
Any simple elastic waist pattern will work.

I see no need to ever get dressed in the morning and these sleep pants are a good excuse to stay in pajamas all day.

Why didn't I think of that... ;)
I, too, don't want to dress in the morning. I usually slip into a 'house suit' (comfy velvet) and run around barefeet (or in winter: thick socks) all day... I love to see/hear I'm not the only one who likes that!

Those are adorable. Love the print too. A new way of looking at sheets.

What a lovely idea - in all respects! I used to have that pattern! I loved that skirt!
