those are so cute and they look so comfy!! i may have to bust out the sewing machine and give them a go...

i've gotta get me a cute thrifted sheet!

Looovvvve that In Stitches book. I got a glimpse a few weeks ago.
Great loungers! It's almost like you are wearing your bed. No wonder they are so comfy!!! I am in the market for new loungers.

Oh, I will definitely be making a pair of these. And a thrifted sheet! You smart and thrifty lady, you.

so adorable.

and thrifted, at that!

love them, and your handiness.

I saw a pair of these on Soulmama's blog a while back which prompted me to add Amy's book to my wish list. Yours look super comfortable. Now, if I could only get comfortable using a sewing machine. I have a stack of vintage sheets just waiting around for something.

Don't they look great, so comfy! I like the colour too.

ahhhh, abi, is that who is was? i couldn't remember where i saw them.......i thought it was wisecraft, and i went through all of her archives to link there to no avail. that must have been why......

Love those! So cute and comfy and what a great idea to use old bedsheets. Cheap idea too - gotta love that!

What an awesome way to use those sheets that don't fit on my bed anymore! Perfect - love yours!

Seriously? I thought those were pictures of Libby when I first saw them! So, you made them from a sheet? You are amazing! Too cute.

When you mentioned trim, I had flashbacks to last week's Project Runway when Chris used human hair as trim. But I digress...

this makes me want to sew so badly. you look so nice and comfy.

Those are SOOO cute. Makes me wish I could do more with my sewing machine than put the needle thru my fingernail every time. I am a disaster!

You have started the month with nice fresh pants. Am good at contemplating making projects from the book....maybe yours will give me a kick to.

Enjoy them.

so cute and how fabulous of you to actually make them!

gotta make these. need more sheets.

Your pants look great! There's nothing comfier than pants like those.

Love them! That thrifted sheet is perfect!
My girls like their jammies long. Then they can tuck their toes in to keep them warm.

I have an old sheet waiting for me to find the time to make me some pjs from too...they wil just be so so very comfy- I just know it!

I love them. I might as well add it to my list. :)

Leslie that yellow is so darn cheery, nice work!

in love with these...and i just put my sewing machine away! I am very inspired now. I love that sheet!

This exact pattern is the one I took a sewing class for last summer in the hopes that I could gain the skills to make some. Love them! You have inspired me to follow through with my desire to make some lounge pants.

Oh what a brilliant idea!

what a great idea!!
i love them, and the pattern is perfect to wait for spring!
they are lovely!

Oh what a great idea to use sheets for your pants. They look so comfortable. I do have a sewing machine but I'm not a very good seamstress! I would like to try these one day though, I could make a matching pair for my daughter:-)

Those are awesome pants! I put a hold on that book @ my library so I can make some! Or ten...

Oh those look so cheerful and comfy!

I love the yellow~ you never seize to amaze me Leslie!

It looks really nice and comfortable!!

Those are so cute! I made a pair for a Christmas gift and I agree -- so quick and easy!

Those lounge pants are way too cute! I may have to pick up that book and sew myself a pair. The pattern is very cute.

WOW.. these are incredible.. so awesome.. in my favorite color and my favorite flower(daisy).. I'm in awe, my lady...

you make my day xxx

I love the sheet idea! The pants are comfortable before you even wear them:) I have the Stitches book. It has great ideas. I just need to dig out my sewing machine.

Those pants look so great... and look at you putting your collection to use!

Those are way cozy looking! I like to thrift for flat sheets too -- I use them for backings for blankets...then I find cheapo old/ugly blankets for the inside so I don't have to mess about quilting them down. :)

What adorable little pants! I had to look twice, I just thrifted a pair of curtains that look just like your pants. Now I'm inspired to make a set of my own loungy pants! =)

Oh Leslie, these are so great! I have had my eye on that pattern from InStitches but didn't want to make them while I was pregnant--you may have inspired my next project!

Hope you are well.

Fabulous pants, Lady! I've long believed in making things from sheets. The Lounge Pants are brilliant.

Ooooh these are sooo cute and I have seen many before but I think you are a lounge pants kind of gal. They look completely FABULOUS!!! I think I'll have to have a go at these.

what a brilliant idea! i bet tshirt sheets would make some super comfy pants too!!!

Those are great and what a terrific sheet it was to use for these. They look comfy!!

Tanya

I have always wanted to make those but could never justify spending the money on the yardage. A sheet is just a genius idea!
I love the pattern on yours. Gorgeous handmade as usual!

Now these are something even I can make. Thanks, Les! They look so comfy...

those are so great! I wish I were wearing a pair right now...

Gorgeous! I have that In Stitches book too. I'll definitely be making these pants soon...especially since I could go to the thrift store to get some cheap sheets to make them. What an awesome idea! I remember someone else doing this and had totally forgotten about this cheap way to get fabric. I'm so glad you mentioned it!

Andrea

I have a sheet downstairs that I think I have to make into a pair of these pants, though I don't think they'll look quite as cute on me! Adorable.

Oh!!!!!!! those are so adorable.
Actually the pattern looks familiar. I am going to hit all the ventage shops this week. Have
to beat you to it!!!!!!!!!

It is things like this that make me really really want to learn to sew. I have two broken sewing machines in my closet right now because every time I try to learn I break them. No one can figure out what I am doing wrong...maybe I need to actually take a class. I am inspired now to actually go out and find one! You are so talented!

They are so cute... and they look so comfortable!

Ooooh I likey and the print is so pretty.

love love LOVE these.... well done.

These are so cute! Way to rock the pj's on your blog! :)

Oh, what a great idea! This will have to go on my must sew list. I have a few pair of sheets that would be perfect, too!

Wow, as if I didn't already want a pair of those, now I REALLY do!
And now I have yet another reason to go thrifting this weekend...

They are fabulous, I have had the fabric sitting ready for over four months but still haven't made mine, I am green with envy over yours, love the colour.

Very cool idea to use sheets. Why can't we buy fabric at that price?

Hello! These are great! I found you from Philigry and am enjoying your blog!

I actually love that they're a bit long. I wonder if they could be adapted into yoga pants... Hmm... As they are now they'd be pretty loose and not great but maybe with a few alterations.

I love the fabric, too. Just right for early March -- clearing away the dark of February with something cheery.

OK. Hello. Now I know why I never gave those orange paisley sheets away when the no longer fit our new mattress. Hello lounge pants. Thank you!

Oh, they are so lovely! Do you have the pattern?

Can we say CHRISTMAS Gifts? Hello - found the cutest ruffled pink floral pillowcase - makes a 3-4T size pair to perfection!
