One of my Families Traditions was on Christmas eve we'd open one present, a pair of Pajamas. Something nice, warm, and Christmasy. I've been continuing this tradition with my daughters.
Sophia and I Christmas Eve 2007 In Christmas Jammies
Christmas Morning 2008. With Uncle Brad and Puppy Bella
Annalilia and Sophia Christmas Eve 2009.
This year I got brave and decided to sew them myself. This was my first time making pants, It was far easier than I had ever expected.
 |
| I took a pair of Pants that fit Annalilia Really well, They're a bit too short, but The legs and waist are perfect |
 |
| With the front of the pants on a fold I cut 2 pieces, folded right sides together and stitched up the leg, stopping at the crotch. |
 |
| Turn 1 leg right side out, and stuff it inside the other leg, |
 |
| Sew along the inseam |
Unfold the legs from each other, Double fold a casing for the elastic band to slide into. Remember to leave an opening. I also double stitched the crotch by ironing the fold open, and sewing 1/4 inch away from the seam.
I hemed the pants, (A little too short I think... Whoopsies) and Appliqued a little matching top. I am not a pattern follower and The only shirts I know how to make aren't exactly jammies, So I opted for a plain $5 t shirt that I dressed up with Scraps. I love the way It looks and even if It makes it for 1 night it will be worth my time.
