kids pyjama pants

As previously mentioned, my 'Little Miss' is having a growth spurt- of epic proportions!
Realising just before bedtime that she had no clean PJs and those she had were w-a-y too small, i quickly trawled the net for some super quick pyjama pant tutorials. There were tons of tutorials out there, but these three listed below were pretty straight forward and easy to follow.

Pyjama pant tutorials:
 1.

 2.
3.

And here's my version.


These are a little more fitted than those shown above. Miss B likes ribbed ankles so they dont ride up at night. One small error due to rushing to make them, one of the cuff seams is inside out (see on the right hand side). No biggie though.
Super easy to make, and if you can score some cheap fabric like I did, these pj pants cost only about 45 cents to make. Perfect!

milkmaid skirt

Miss B has gone through a h-u-g-e growth spurt- nothing fits! And also, she's decided that girls dont wear pants, so our wardrobe attire is next to nil.

Skirts and dresses are on the 'to do list' this week. Special request from Miss B was for some of her favourite colours (pink & purple- of course) and not my 'boring' choice of colours (being navy, grey or red).

This bright number was finished today, and little Miss was delighted to see a multitude of colour.





Fabric: Amy Schimler 'Circle Toss in Pink ', and pink /white dot contrasting trim.

Tutorial for skirt came from here.
