They're only little....for a little while :)


 It's drizzly and overcast outside so that makes it a perfect day to have a pajama jam! I've been enjoying some yummy coffee that Jose made for me before he left for work today along with some wonderful pumpkin cranberry bread I baked this morning. It's about 2:30pm right now and I"m still wearing my jammies while I sew some jammies for David. His birthday is November 22nd and I'm working on a Dinosaur gift theme for him. If you've read some of my earlier posts, you'll remember that he talks about his 2 dinosaurs. He even acts like he's moving 2 very heavy objects around :) When I
saw this flannel with sets of 2 dinosaurs on it I knew I had to have it for my David! He'll get these jammies for his birthday along with another orange dinosaur to play with. The monkey jammies are one of his Christmas gifts. His mom calls him "Monkey" so that fabric was also an easy choice. We currently have 4 grandsons. I realize that the "cute factor" with boys only last while they are little. What I mean by that is with boys the time comes a lot sooner than girls when they don't want to wear "cute" anything anymore. They want something that looks more masculine. So for now, I'm enjoying that our boys are all still "little" and they get excited when they get new jammies from Nana. I need to attach the buttons and make the button holes on these two and then it's another project done! . Next up......Lightning McQueen and Mater jammies for my 2 oldest grandsons.

  3. I'm sooo glad you like them. I thought the pocket was needed on the pants. They looked too plain just beige. I made the pocket big enough to fit a baby wee-oo wee-oo or perhaps a tiny felt din-din.

  5. I realized while I was working on these that I hadn't done piping in about 20 years. I guess it's like riding a bike..... :) The pattern doesn't call for piping, but I thought it would jazz them up a bit. I like the way they came out.

  9. Piping is easy. All you need is a zipper foot and you're good to go!
