Maddy's Jammies

I love Pinterest.  I found this tutorial for turning an adult sized sweater into a dress for a baby girl.  But the concept of the dress is pretty simple.  So on Monday, Maddy comes home from school to announce that her class has won a pajama day at school.  Its going to be on Wednesday.  Well, slight problem.  She doesn't really have any jammies that appropriately fit her and we have no money.  But I do have tons of fabric, and some flannel that I kept telling myself I was going to do something with.  Well, with no time, and no pattern that could easily be done in a day and a half, I thought about that tutorial.  Seemed simple enough - cut a-line body, do a peasant style sleeve and neckline, sew a bias tube around the neck-line and use elastic to tighten up the neckline until it fits just right.  Here's what I made:

 

The neckline was probably done up a little too tightly but it still fit perfectly!  And can you believe it, it only took about 2 hours to do the whole thing, including ironing up my own bias tape at the neckline!
