Summer pjs for mommy and me

I was at target today hunting for some summer capris pj pants. All they had were xl's on the clearance rack for $9.00. So I thought ...I can alter those to fit me myself.
So I took the sides in some and then cut the length off as short as I wanted it.
Then I had all this leftover leg fabric left. What to do with that??? Make capris for my daughter to match. She loved that idea. I pulled out my kids pants pattern or you can trace some pants your child already has too. See them up. Put some elastic in the waist. Done. Happy mom and daughter.
