Okay, so I want to tell you about my cute new pajamas! Back in my eBay Boutique days I started looking for fabric in non-bolt places and realized Pottery Barn Kids had the cutest sheets in the world and you get a sizable chunk of yardage with each set. Fortunately we have a PB Kids store at a nearby mall so it was easy to go grab a set and get to work sewing. Here's a cute little dress I made using the Anna pattern from Farbenmix. The straps and ruffle are from a Rachel Ashwell sheet set I got at Target.
Fast forward a few years and my pajamas have a rip in the rump. That did not stop me from wearing them because I loved them (and the kids were mortified seeing me walk around like that which was even better, ha!). Joey bought these for me about 10 years ago at Victoria's Secret and I remember they were expensive (around 40.00) and they were perfect. Perfect for Arizona and perfectly pink (before the kids started doing the laundry).
Well, when I was cleaning through my stash the other week I came upon some left over PB Kids sheet fabric that I'd been holding onto and the idea hit me. Is there anything more perfect for sleeping in than crisp cotton sheets? Heck no. So I took a big breath and cut into my favorite PJs. I used the pant leg piece as my pattern and simply omitted the side seam. The top was a little trickier to trace because I didn't want to rip it apart but I fudged my way through it and it turned out fine. I'll make a couple of adjustments next time but nothing major.
So here they are and these are now my favorite pajamas (maybe ever!). I've been wearing these just about non-stop and finally put them in the wash today. They are nice and roomy (I despise tight jammies, they make me claustrophobic), and perfect for the Arizona climate. I'm pretty sure I'll have a whole collection of these pajama sets by the time winter hits.
Oodles of projects this week so stay tuned! Huge sale in the store so if you need to get started on Christmas sewing run over and take a look!
