Miss A was in desperate need of some winter pjs, so I made two identical sets in (non-matching) fabrics of her choice.  The tops were sewn up in a knit (made for comfort) and the bottoms are a lovely warm flannel.

Miss A’s christened her new pjs with some good old acrobatics and a lounge about (apologies in advance about the slightly out of focus action photos).

Made-by-Rae has just released a kids pants pattern (also suitable for pjs).  The pattern is easy super easy to sew and there are so many variations – a flat front, pockets, knee patches, pintucks and tuxedo stripes.  My girls currently refuse to wear jeans and pants (they love tights and leggings) but with this pattern I’m hoping to convince them otherwise.  Wish me luck!

Pattern: Parsley Pants by Made-by-Rae
Size: 5 (as per the measurements of my petite 6.5 year old)
Fabric: Cotton flannel from Darn Cheap Fabrics (purchased last year)
Alterations: None!

For the pj top, I used my TNT kids long sleeve t-shirt pattern.  I was feeling a little lazy so I used a size I already has traced and added some length to the sleeves and hem.

Pattern:  Ottobre Design – Creative Workshop 301 – The Best T-Shirts : View A, Straight Cut Design
Size:  110cm
Fabric:  Spotlight’s Nursery Knit in Strawberries (100% cotton)
Alterations:  Added 1 inch to the sleeves and the hem (good old ‘room for growing’)
