Loungewear Revolution- Jersey Romper
September 13, 2011 9:34 amOn of my favorite things to sleep in is this little jersey romper that I have. Here’s a way to make your own!
Get two T’s.
Cut the first one off. This will be your top piece.
We’ll use the other one for the shirts part. Fold it in half and cut out a piece as shown. Sort of like oversized underwear.
Here’s what you will have.
Sew the crotch together. I don’t know how else to say that. 
I also took out a midsection of the top and added an accent piece down the middle.
Sew the top and bottom together. I sew it and eave an overhang. Then I sew that flap down to create a pocket for the elastic in the middle.
Make a small hole and weave your elastic through.
Now your waist is gathered. See where we’re going with this?
Fold the top over to create a pocket and put elastic through there, too. Also, I forgot to take a picture, but add some straps.
I added some lace around the shorts.
Here is the completed romper. Clearly, no modeling in this get up 
What an easy way to turn a couple of old T-shirts into something much cuter!

The romper is absolutely adorable! Thank you so much for showing how to make them – it looks very easy. I may have to give it a try!

That is so sharp! It’s the kind of thing I’d want to march around the house in all day, but run and hide when the doorbell rings. Of course, it might be funnier to be deadpan blase when UPS shows up… I love the simplicity of this. <3

Once you put the elastic through, did you just tie the two ends together? What kind of knot would your recommend to keep it from coming apart?
Or did you hand sew the two elastic ends together?

After you added the elastic did you tie the two ends together or did you hand sew them together?
