Sewing “bread”: Pajamas
I don’t know when/how it happened, but my little boy has managed to get kind of tall all of a sudden. Not bigger around (that would be too easy!), just taller, so all of his pajama pants were somewhere around capri length when 6 short months ago they were easily touching the floor. So I did what any mom would do–I took pity on him.
I let him choose the fabrics (he even chose the pattern this time), and I made them up. Note to self: next time, remember that my son is often paralyzed with indecision–narrow down the choices to 4 or 5 for him to pick from instead of the entire flannel section on fabric.com!
The pattern was New Look 6090, one of those companies that I’ve made a grand total of probably 1 successful garment from. Anyway, I made one of the shirts, but the rest I decided that I’d just make the bottoms, since he doesn’t always wear the tops anyway. I had a sneaking suspicion that the shirt would be too short (it wasn’t) and I opted to leave off the button opening on the back, since he dresses himself and I think that would probably be difficult for him to do. In the end though, I don’t think it’s going to get a lot of wear, and that’s fine too. I don’t love the way the shirt turned out, and quite frankly, I’d much rather just zip through a pair of PJ pants than mess around with a bound neckline and all that jazz anyway. Yeah, I’m lazy, but at least I can own it.
Anyway, I’m not sure what else I can say about these at this point, so I’ll leave you with a cute kitten.

Your son chose some cute prints for pj’s. Good choice.
teehee kitten!
These look super comfy and the fabric is too cute- well chosen by the little chap!
Well even with chronic indecision he got some goodies!
You have reminded me that I need to make up some new PJs for my two too. The days are getting shorter and I did find some fairy fabric that they will “quite” like
Yes, the fairy fabric is very cute! And yes, he makes good choices once he finally settles on one, it’s just the getting there that can be…….er, tedious…
Not sure he’d go for the fairies. And after all the time waiting for a decision, it’d be a disaster if he didn’t then wear the jolly things LOL.
LOL! You just never know with him, but you’re probably right, the fairies would likely be a no-go–unless they were tractor fairies.
