We get an angel from the angel tree at our local YMCA every year. This year a 7 year old boy needed PJs, so my husband asked me to make him some. And of course, who would say no to that???!! So I used Simplicity 1605 for the pants and bought shirts. I used part of the fabric to make an applique on the shirt.
This first set is totally cotton and all boy with all the little trucks. I almost got the pattern to match perfectly everywhere except the back seam. I know how to do it now and will post a tute soon, so you'll know too if you don't already.
This pair is flannel.
And a close up of the applique. Sorry it's a bit blurry.
It is so easy to coordinate a top with the pants if the fabric has the right pattern.
I also made these for Robbie, and this is the best picture I could get. I knew I wouldn't get them off of him ever again, since he literally stood over my shoulder in his underwear while I finished hemming them. I needed to alter them a bit, because they really are too big. But that wasn't happening once they were on.
This pattern runs slightly larger. Robbie is a size 7 in pants, so I made the medium. I should have gone with the small but added a bit of length. It is a super easy pattern for pants. I am not liking the shirt as much, but that's because of some of the instructions. More on that in another post.
Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to ask questions.
