If you’ve spent any time around my blog you know I have a slight PJ Obsession! This summer I’ve kept it really simple with my sons summer pajamas. I used Fabric Markers, shirts we had, and shorts I made to create these two cute summer pjs sets.
In the fall, Jack’s school had a green day. We had created this outfit from an old shirt and IKEA fabric for that. Somehow the shirt didn’t survive the fall and the shorts got put away. When I pulled out the spring/summer clothes I knew I could use them for Pjs.
We paired the shorts with a t-shirt that a friend passed on. Its a bit big to wear as a day shirt, but perfect for night. I traced and enlarged (just freehand, so its not perfect) the hippo from the shorts and put in on the front. I just love my Crayola Fabric Markers, they made it so easy to create the coordinating shirt and shorts.
The second set is a cute whale theme. We have had the shirt (came with long pants) for years…. Jack has been wearing it since it was WAY to big… now it finally fits, but the pants were worn out. For this set I whipped up a pair of shorts from the Alex and Anna Summer Pjs by Peek-a-Boo Patterns. Again, I just used my Crayola Fabric Markers, and this becomes a super simple project. The shorts are made from an old t-shirt, so there is a bit of the old printing on the back… but the front looks cute.
*remember to heat set the markers before washing*

I have some of these markers. I know what I’ll be working on… These turned out so cute!
I love using old t-shirts for our jammies.

Super cute idea. We definitely use old t-shirts for Pjs 🙂

Great idea! My kids are older so they don’t care if their pjs are matching anymore. When they were young I usually just bought the sets.
