Christmas Pajamas
Part of my vast Christmas sewing adventure was creating a cute set of PJs for my DD and her BFF. Being a maker can mean sometimes you get annoyed when shopping.
I Can Make That!
A few years ago (pre-Covid) when my daughter and I were Black Friday shopping she spotted plaid flannel pajama pants with pockets. Cue gushing about the fabric and the pockets. Under my breath as I was purchasing them I muttered, well I can make that! Especially since the plaids were not matched on the sides and the flannel was cheap and thin.
I found a pajama pattern and drafted my own patch pockets. I've been making her pajama pants ever since. Though she still insists I also buy her commercially sewn flannel pants. Another nugget of wisdom for the mother of a teen daughter. Some things are just not worth arguing about or drawing your line in the sand.
2021 Version
A few years ago I stopped making matching tops for the pajama pants. A plain white t shirt works just fine since the tops were never worn. Here is this years offering.
I have upped the ante with my Cricut Maker and iron-on vinyl.
