mens shirts into toddler pajamas

Derick and I were going through and getting rid of some of our clothes. On the flip side, Lincoln needed some new pajamas for spring and summer. I decided to make him some out of Derick's shirts that he was getting rid of.

Exhibit A:

Before
{Shirt that shrunk too much in the dryer and no longer fit}

After
{The sleeves became pants and then I also made a shirt}

Lincoln wore them to bed tonight.

Exhibit B:

Before
{Old Golf Shirt}

After
{pj bottoms}

Exhibit C:

{I don't have a before shot, but the Tshirt basically looked like what I made it into. 
I just made it into a smaller shirt, and made shorts to go with it}

Total cost for almost 3 sets of pajamas? FREE. Awesome. 
And there is still more clothing to cut up and repurpose.

Ok I'm impressed. Where does everyone get their sewing skills? Am I the only one in the world who can't sew?!
