Make them and it shall come.

...them bring summer pyjamas

and it being summer...

Having stocked up the little goddess' piggy piggy jam jam drawer for summer nights,

I have been procrastinating on making the boys' PJs.

As soon as it "has" to be done,

it becomes a chore.

And while making 4 pairs at once,

a few thread colour changes aside,

is a quicker process,

it smacks of production line

and that seems to kick in a persnickety little "boredom" gene.

The bottoms are from Favourite Things Little Jammies pattern

modified to a completely elasticised waist.

The top are from Kwik Sew 3234 pyjama pattern.

These are a slim top so I made a size 10 for my boys.

(one is 5 and he...shall we say, takes after his mother;

the 7 year old is a beanpole...they share the same waist measurement)

These are loose fitting but a good size and if they don't get trashed through stretching tops over their knees and playing "hey I have a great idea let's see who can pull and stretch whose pyjamas the most"

(as happened with last year's pairs)

they might get more than a year's wear.

Fabrics: plain knit is Stella. Various patterned knits from the stash.

Embroidery: both from embroidery library,

embroidered onto felt

then sewn onto the tops.

And *ahem* I might just have made one more pair for the little goddess.
