Summer has ended and school has resumed but I made one last ditch effort to sew for my girls. It was literally last minute when I sewed the last stitch, the evening before school started.
I am all about comfort and if I am home for the day you will find me in my Old Navy pajama pants and a T-shirt. In the summer it is the form of cotton with short or under the knee length. In the winter it is flannel or fleece with big fluffy slippers.
But I just can’t seem to get past the cute little pj’s of the 60’s and 70’s. I have always loved pajamas and I have a basket full of pajama patterns, mostly vintage.
So, let the pajama game begin.
I love that this pattern comes in two styles, each perfect and fitting for each of my girls.
For Aria the more slim fitting style. She does not like loose fitting clothes and this set comes with a more tailored button up top and little shorts.
For Aniyah, the baby doll pajama. Even though I used the same pattern, which is a size 6, because of the elastic I was able to make it fit her. I did cut some off the bottom to make it shorter, but did not worry about reducing anything else on the top. I did adjust the bottoms a bit.
I trimmed the sleeves and the panties with a double sided elastic trim. I just folded it in half and stretched it as I sewed.
Aria’s fabric was purchased from JoAnn’s several years ago and I must confess that I actually cut her pajamas out last summer but never got to them.
Aniyah’s fabric was giving to me by a very dear friend. Thank you my beloved Carey!
Both girls loved their new pajamas. I could not have counted how many times Aria thanked me for them. Makes me want to drag everything out and start all over again.
Return to your rest, my soul, for the Lord has been good to you Psalm 116:7
The Portion of my Inheritance
