Let's be real: everyone can use more pajama pants. After all, you need a pair at the ready whenever the idea of changing into jeans sounds like the actual worst. Plus, it's a quickie sewing project — especially if you whip 'em up using your own pattern. That's exactly what we did here, right after choosing a fun, floral fabric that simply screams vacation. Pack 'em in your suitcase, or slip them on at home. Either way, you're guaranteed to feel stylish and comfy.

What You Need
Pattern paper (We used a roll of white bulletin board paper; exam table paper or butcher paper also work)
A pair of pajama pants that you know fit well (You’ll be able to make minor adjustments, but it’s best to start with something pretty close)
Pajama fabric, such as cotton or flannel (the amount will depend on the size pants you are making — we used Lamina Rainforest by AGF Studio)
½” wide elastic

Here's an easy quick tip for candy melts. If you find your candy melts are too thick, add a spoonful of shortening!

The shortening will be clumpy at first, but once it is stirred in, let it sit for a few minutes. The warm candy melts will melt the shortening, which will in turn thin out the candy melts. It is a beautiful circle! If after about 5 minutes the clumps are still not gone, heat the candy melts in the microwave for another 20 seconds at 20% power. by @therealcraftsy
