Thrifty PJ Shorts

My daughter needed PJ shorts for the summer, and I wanted to see if I could repurpose some of fabric/clothes that I had to make them.  It turns out that I was getting ready to get rid of some receiving blankets since my kids are no longer babies.  It occurred to me that those blankets were just like cuts of fabric, albeit smaller ones, that I could use for the shorts.

Shorts from a sheet (left); shorts from a baby sling (right)
I also had a worn crib sheet and a baby sling that I took apart, which gave me 2 more yards of fabric to use for PJs.  Between the blankets, sheet, and wrap, I now have plenty of fabric to use for PJ shorts for a while.
