Sallie - not so secret pajamas

Disclaimer: I got this pattern for free, as a thank you for testing it.

What: one-piece pajamas

Pattern: Sallie by Closet Case Patterns, cut view B with modifications

Size cut: 10 for the bottom, 8 for the top

Materials used: floral printed jersey 98% cotton, 2% spandex; 4 cm wide elastic; 5cm wide crochet lace

This used to be a not finished sundress. It sat on my shelves for quite some time. It was a sewing project gone wrong! And now it got a new life in a much needed pajama. 

And since it was cut from a semi finished dress, the pattern placement may be odd. But hey, no one is really going to see it.

I made few changes to the pattern - lowered the waistline and extended the top to get a more of a dropped waist feel. Also the pants were turned into shorts. Pockets and lining were left out. 

I finished the armholes with binding. Now that was the first time ever for me! To sew a binding that extends to a strap on a knit material. It came out okay. The straps and the binding are maybe tad bit wide, but I am not bothered by it at all. I figured a wider binding is much easier to sew than a thin one.

I think Sallie is awesome for PJs! Don't you?
