Quick & Cozy Jammies
I found this adorable snowman flannel at Joann's the other day. It just wanted to be brought home and made into PJs for Andy. I had an easy McCall's raglan sleeve pajama pattern in sizes 1-2-3. According to the measurements on the pattern, Andy (who is 2 years 5 mos) is smaller than a size 1. Are they drafting patterns for children of Hagrid and Shrek or what?? It made me remember why I don't usually use the commercial patterns. BUT I made the size 1 and they did turn out very cute. I don't like the huge neck opening, but the rest of them are a good fit. I like the soft ribbing cuffs on the sleeves and pants. Andy put them on and has been wearing them all day. I guess he likes them!
This project was a quick & easy break from the Christening Gown and Medieval Bracers I'm working on. I've really got a variety going lately!
Maybe if you make them again, make the ribbing a little smaller around the neck. That should take up the slack. I often wonder if the commercial pattern companies actually have everyday sewists test anything. I don't think they do. What at Ellie Inspired in the next month or so. She has real gals testing for her.
ReplyDeleteI know...I swear they don't test these patterns on real people. Andy still fits the 6 mo. snuggie I made last year.
ReplyDeleteI have pattern tested for Ellie Inspired, but most of her patterns are for girls and most of my sewing is for boys. I may do it in the future, if I'm less busy.
