New PJs for my little one. Really pleased with how these turned out.
From design to execution! I ended up using a different top pattern than I planned but I only had it up to size 2. I ended up using the T-Shirt, Raglan Sleeves pattern by Sewnz (in size 4 - it goes from 1-10 years) and a free bottoms - Movie Night Pajamas from Sew a Little Seam (available from 1-12 years). I had fun designing these and the colour combination works really well and takes away from the prison like colour scheme!
The fabric is a stretch cotton and the red has a really nice recovery.
I love using my bodkin for pulling the eleastic through the casing - makes that job so much easier (purchased at Made Marion in Wellington).
Someone now needs to admire my stripe matching!
They're a comfy hit with my little person.
Pattern: Sew a Little Seam Movie Night Pajamas Bottom size 3T
Fabric: jacks were purchased in the states via mail order from I *think* Fabric Mail and I can't recall when I got the red (but its great)
Notes: annoyingly the SewNZ pattern doesn't include the expected length of the neckline and gets you to measure it for each size - it really should be in an associated table. I used a 31.5cm strip here for size 4. The seam a little seam pattern was free via their facebook group. Its a great bottoms and I'll happily make them again. The only downside was that the pattern is only available as a A4/letter print PDF and I really am beginning to hate taping patterns together.
