🪡 Sweatpants for a Toy Stuffed Monkey

My grandson's stuffed monkey, George, only had pajamas and I felt he needed some day pants, so I made these sweatpants for George.

George needed some day pants.
His waist fit inside the finished leg of a pair of men's sweatpants, so that's what I used.

I cut the part of the men's sweatpants to the proper length for the toy and turned them so the side seam was now in the front.

I used a seam ripper to open the seam far enough to create a pants leg for the toy monkey, then separated them and stitched them.

I used the other leg of the sweatpants to cut out the pieces I needed to make the sweatshirt from a pattern I made using the existing pajama top. (I don't have a picture of the completed shirt.)

My grandson was impressed and George no longer had to live his life in PJs!

I love to re-purpose things, and I learned about garment structure from mia Nonna, who was a tailor.

The sweatpants were on their way to the donation box, so my friend let me have them. I had everything else in my sewing supplies.

Wish I had a pic of the shirt. It was cute! Little pocket too.

Lovely! Could we see what George looks like modeling the final pair? Also, I love that George has embraced casual Fridays for every day. My kind of guy.

I will try to comply the next time I see George.
An important detail: the sweatpants had an opening for his tail.
(I can't believe I didn't get a pic of him in his new day wear.)
