Babies got some brand new PJ's

Hi there, I'm trying to watch Sesame Street but my crazy mommy wants to take pictures. I'm not your baby model!

Fine if you're going to keep taking pictures you can look at my back. I got things to do.

Like suck on my hand, mmmm my hand is delicious.

Boom! More PJ's are done!  Nothing like a few quick knit projects to make you feel like a productive sewer. Yeah I'm looking at you sexy dress, AKA hand sewing time suck. OK, fine, you're pretty so let's just move on.

Peek-a-boo pattern shop gets a big thumbs up from me for their winter PJ set.  I loved everything about this pattern.  One seam pants, easy ribbing binding and nice clear instructions with photos.  They even give you a chart with suggested elastic lengths for each size.  A certain pattern (that will go unmentioned) didn't bother to give me that information when I making Xmas clothing for my niece and nephew.  Sometimes we don't have the child around to measure pattern makers, give me a suggestion.  So long story short, peek-a-boo patterns rocks!

The fabric was acquired from the Ottobre shop a couple years ago and did get made up into a Jalie onesie for my boy back when he was a smaller version.  There was just enough left over to cut a 3T size of the PJ set.  The ribbing was from my usual children's supplier Lilbabythangs.  I just wish she sold bigger cuts ribbing cause I want some for my projects.

I pretty much followed the directions exactly just substituting in the coverstitch machine for any zigzag or twin needle parts. My son wears 2T right now but this fabric was too pricey to get a 2-3 months of wear out of them.  Sized up so he can wear them the entire winter next year.

Best of all this project was under a yard so it qualifies for this month's stashbusting sew-a-long challenge!  Watch out, I'm on a stash busting roll.

Butterick 5814 is done, waiting for undergarments for it's debut photo shoot.  Speaking of undergarments bra muslins happen to be on my sewing table. Seems I'm working on 2012 sewing resolutions as well.

Another version of Sewaholic Renfrew pattern but with 1x2 ribbing for the binding.  The ribbing fabric behaved differently in every location and I had to remove different amounts of length from the pattern.  The breakdown was 3" off the neck binding, 2" off the hem binding and 1" off the sleeve binding.  At least that's pretty easy to remember. Now excuse me I have some reading to do.
