confession: i last bought myself pj shorts in 2002... 9 years ago. granted, i bought 4 pairs at once during that 1 pjs shopping trip, and aren't you proud? they lasted this long! however, after 9 years, only 1 pair is left, and it is on its last legs. the elastics of all the others have since stretched out, so i figured it was time to use one of them as a pattern to construct some more. i used this light yellow fabric with giraffes, elephants, birdies, and rhinos, which i got from my spring break trip to kauai last year. i think it's baby fabric, because it is super soft and thin.
the whole project took 2 days (only because i had to intersperse sewing with the writing of 3 recommendation letters for my students. after having written 10, i'd rather never write any ever again!). i easily could have finished in a day, otherwise.
i made a faux drawstring tie to finish off the look (well really to help me tell which side is the front and which is the back). the shorts are more yellow, as in the 2 pics above. they're not as light as in the pics below...
here's my skinny mannequin modeling the shorts:
