DIY Family Christmas PJs
Sooo, I had a bright idea to make my entire family pajama pants for Christmas. My family usually comes from all over on Christmas and for the last few years, I’ve made pajama pants. I started thinking about this early this fall and in early November I blasted it out in the family group chat ( do you have a family group chat that stays lit?) and the consensus was yes, please. Last year, I took measurements from my extended family and made the pants a day or two before Christmas, it wasn’t bad, but I wanted to do this earlier so I could make some other stuff. There are…

Pattern Review: S1563 + Robe and Pajama pants
My daughter doesn’t ask me to make her stuff much, and she didn’t ask for this, but when I saw this fabric, during the holiday, I knew she would love it. I don’t do much selfless sewing. Partly because it takes a long time to make something, and partly because I don’t want too: p. It takes me forever to make something and if it takes that long, I want to wear it. I’m very sensitive about my stuff, if the person wearing my handmade item doesn’t like it and doesn’t pay for it, that irritates me. Soo, to avoid all of that, I just sew for myself. I know,…
