christmas pajamas

handmade christmas jammies

I was planning to make two pairs of pajamas. Only one pair got finished. When I showed them to my daughter, she said they were very cool, but she didn’t want to wear them to bed. I was a little crushed. Fast forward to today: they’ve been on for over 24 hours and she doesn’t want to take them off. Success?

The flannel was thrifted from somewhere—I’m starting to lose track of where I get these things! I was planning to use a Simplicity pattern, but didn’t have enough fabric. Instead, I used a pillow case pajama pants tutorial, and it worked out perfectly.

The top is just a plain t-shirt from Target. I added a little appliqué to help it coordinate with the pants.

I’m very happy with how these turned out. I’ll be making the other pair this weekend.

project notes: Making a pattern from measurements tutorial from Brandy over at Minivan Life. Very easy to follow. I highly recommend it!

  2. These are so sweet! I did the same thing for my oldest two – thrifted flannel bottoms, and t-shirt w/ applique on top. My younger daughter got a full nightie (which I doubt I’ll ever make again – nuisance!), and my youngest a thrifted union suit with applique to match his big brothers. Fun, fun, fun!

    Thanks for the inspiration – your blog and projects have really helped me see the possibilities out there with repurposing/thrifting etc. :o)

  5. I did the same thing for my 3 girls – but made my own pattern for the pants. I will have to check out the pillowcase tutorial. I even had coordinating t-shirts from target! I planned to add a coordinating applique but then decided my kids really needed the plain solid colored tops so I left well enough alone.
