I have hit a sewing wall where my girls and I do not need anymore clothes - we just don't have the room to hang them or the days in the week to wear them. What is a sewing girl to do?
Therefore, a few happy hours have been spent this week making PJ bottoms as presents. I have small pieces of fabric left over in my stash which are not suitable for day wear but are of good quality.
They are stacking up and need to go. I did not buy any of them, they were all donated by friends who know I sew. These ones are made using a basic pattern from the Ottobre magazine but there are many ways to self draft your own pattern if you search pinterest or Youtube.
I have added a few details: crochet lace around the leg cuff, a little label and crucially, a ribbon tie at the front that makes them adjustable. You could customise them in all sorts of ways.
Teamed with a marl T-shirt I saw in a sale bin for £3, they make the perfect present.
Thanks for dropping by. Jo x
Another great make as always Jo! Especially with the tshirt too!
ReplyDeletecute PJ bottoms, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteClever girl they look great the patterned fabric is very nice.
ReplyDeleteA lovely gift indeed, I seem to be stuck in a "quilt time warp" 2 more quilts to bind. Four bags to finish off and 3 more to make. I have some fabric for dressmaking but it will be next week before I even look at it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great present and the perfect way to use those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteCute - I would totally wear that pretty fabric in the day too if there were enough to make something like a top. The pj set do look lovely; a really nice gift. Love the lace trim.
ReplyDeletePerfect! I love this idea. Everyone can always use something new to wear to bed and these are so pretty. I think this is a very thoughtful gift, Jo.
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect present!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the crochet lace detail. Perfect present.
ReplyDeleteThey look gorgeous! Are they for one of your girls or someone else? Do your girls read your blog ever and get a sneak peak of gifts? x
ReplyDeleteThey are for my god daughter and she is not tuning in here so I am safe for now.
DeleteThey look so soft and cozy, well done Jo!
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable make, Jo. I love your little details and they do look comfy as well as pretty. Sure to make someone very happy.
