The Easiest bloomers ever done.

Bloomers Seam to Be The Hardest Thing For Me to Get Around to Making... Until Now.

Things Needed:

• 1 pair flannel or knitted loose legged pajama pants. Like these. You're going to want them to be old, or it will be a waste of money. If you don't have any pick some up at a thrift store.
• Elastic strip for clothing. You can use any width but mine is 1/8 inch. Pick it up at your local craft store.
• Thread in a color that blends well into the fabric.
• Regular sewing needle.
• Scisors.
• Any decorations you want. I used beaded ribbon flowers.

Destructions... I mean Instructions...

• First cut the fabric about 1/3 way up your thigh from the knee. Make sure the legs are fairly even, but with this project it's not necessary to be perfect.
• Next take your elastic band and making sure not to stretch it. Put it around the middle point of your thigh, or three inches below where you want your bloomers to hit. Mark and cut.
• Then cut another strip of the same leangth.
• Sew the ends of elastic together, ending up with two circles.
• Now turn whats left of the pajama pants inside out. Put the elastic around the leg hole, fold the seam over the elastic, and hand sew around the leg hole, making sure to keep the elastic at the bottom. You do not have to sew the elastic in place.
• Repeat previous step for other leg hole.
• Flip bloomers back right side out.
• Decorate with preferred decorations. I sewed my beaded ribbon flowers at the bottom on the seam.

Finito! Voila! 

These are just super cute and way easier to make than bloomers using shorts to draft your own pattern. As an Upstate New York citizen I seriously own like two pairs of pajama shorts. In the winter shorts aren't enough, and in the summer I pretty much have to sleep in my skivvies with the window open because I can't sleep without a blankie. So for the winter to go under your skirt, these are perfect and quite toasty. I am thinking of outlining a good option for summer bloomers sometime in the spring. 

In other news: I'm working on a very big project for the site right now! It probably wont be complete for another week, so in the mean time smaller posts, probably every other day. Get yourselves super excited for later though! That's all for now! Ta Ta!
