Again this Christmas my four younger grands are getting fleece PJ's made by me!! I purchased lap blankets for $1.99, and it takes two to make a nightgown or pajamas. I did run into a problem with the plaid print, it was stamped on the fabric crooked. The grandson who is getting the lounge pants is constantly on the move,
soooooo I'm hoping no one will notice if the plaids don't quite line up.
I hope they will be cozy and warm in their beds while waiting for Santa !!!
Here's another trick I learned a long time ago.
Anytime I work with stretchy material, instead of hemming the bottom or sleeves, I stretch the material as far as I can, and use the zig-zag stitch. My little girls love this frilly look!!!
And now that the little ladies are into dolls, even their dolly's get matching nighties!!!
And that's the way it is...................................
oh, that is really cool! i'd love a set! :)
ReplyDeleteVery very cute!!!!! What a special thing to do. Memory of Christmas forever.

Oh, you are such a GREAT Grandma!! I'm sure they are going to LOVE these!
ReplyDeleteI don't make little nightgowns for Meredith's dolls but I do make them hats......hmmm maybe we should do a trade?? :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job. They will realize in yrs to come what a special gift they have received.
You are just way too creative! Are you the Wisconsin Martha Stewart?? The jammies look great, and I know the kiddies will love them!
ReplyDeletePeace,

Those look very cozy. What a creative lady to use $1.99 blankets to make them! The frilly hems are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat great gifts and I love the dolls matching pj's! Smart idea to use the lap blankets. Have a nice Sunday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteJohn is improving and I am posting again. I have missed blogging! Mildred
I wish you were MY gramma, I like the frillie to and the dolls are adorable.. you are very talented.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are going to love the jammies. So are the dolls. What an awesome grandma you are.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's lovely. Clever you!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute, and they will love them.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandma used to make us clothes when she came to visit, believe me I still remember what she made me....that was decades ago.

Wonderful! You are so talented!! I love the matching doll clothes..and the little girls will too:)
ReplyDeleteYou've already started the sewing and baking? You are light years ahead of me ;)
ReplyDeleteLucky grandkids to get such cozy night clothes! You are really into the Christmas spirit, which is very nice to see. :)
ReplyDeleteHomemade pajamas are quintessential grandma.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy there are grandmas left who sew for their grandkids...I must confess I don't. Oh extremely simple things that require a straight seam :) but anything complicated and I head for the hills with my computer and Kindle!!! I had a friend in AZ who pretty much made all her g'daughters clothes and here's you with these fantastic pjs for the g'kids and the girls dolls...you're special Muffy!!! Merry Christmas :D
