~kids jammies~

One of the traditions in our home that

has been passed on from my childhood

 is new jammies on Christmas Eve. 

I usually make these each year 

because they are soooo easy.

It's also usually the first on my

list of Christmas projects that I complete.....

for the same reason....

because they are so easy. 

For my little guy's pants I used a

NEW LOOK pattern #6131

 For the top I bought a plain t-shirt at

Walhell for $4 and put an applique on it.

For my little lady I used 

McCall's pattern #3665 for the bottoms.

(Thanks for the patterns Nanc!)

The bum has ruffles....

I love that.

 For her top I took one of her

plain onesies and added sleeves and

a heart applique. I thought adding the sleeves

would be a piece of cake. I'm not gonna lie here....

it was a pain in the butt! It was awkward trying

to get it into my sewing machine at the right

angle and sew on such a tiny piece of

material. It took me way longer than it

should have. Next time will be better.

I'll give you one guess to figure out

where I got the fabric......

If you guessed the box of fabric from 

my Mom you were right! I'm telling 

you-that is really the gift that keeps on giving.

To say it's a box is a little understated.

It was actually about 4 boxes. 

Looks like I can cross these off the list.

Next up-

slippers.

Wish me luck.

My boy has high expectations for these.

He wants them to look like a bear or a deer?!

We'll see what I can come up with.
