Everlasting Pajamas

Thrifting is usually my passion.. I'm usually on the hunt for bargains for my my four kiddos for clothing at all times.  Today wasn't any different! :)  My youngest, 16 month old, is a wee bit ahead of his size range 18-24 months BUT not quite 2T yet. 

Today while browsing the clearance aisle at Old Navy I found two pairs of PJ's in 2T sizing for cheap (75% off!) knowing that they would be a bit too big.  Last year I found the same deal for my oldest and snapped them up.  I was so happy I did because I realized that if I buy big PJ's and hem them up they can last for two years instead of one. PJ's are always the hardest for me to pay full price for because, really, who ever sees them anyway! 

So when I got home, I hemmed these two pair up quite easy, just flip them inside out, turn up the cuffs to the desired length and did one simple hem all the way around (no pinning, just eyeball it) and presto, PJ's for my little guy that will last two years (unless he jumps off the growth charts!) Next Fall come jammie time, I can rip apart the seam and they will be ready to go!
