Moomin Jimmy Jams

my big girls, originally uploaded by indiaeden.

Well, they are moominesque! This cotton was bought from Ikea quite some time ago, and this week I finally got around to making it up into pyjamas for my big girls.
They are off to a "pyjama disco" this afternoon.

Honestly, I'm not at all happy with the finish on these. I was constantly distracted while making them, and I made some stupid mistakes.
The girls love them though, and I guess that's all that really matters, even if I am going to feel cross at myself every time I look at them.
( the pj's not the girls! )

I'm meant to be going to a vintage clothing and textile fair this afternoon, but after finding out there are a couple of distasteful demo's happening in town later, I'm not certain what to do.
I need the inspiration, and was looking forward to the good company, maybe we'll be brave and still go.

    Those Pj's are great, I'll be blowed if I can spot the mistakes!!! My MIL made a quilt and embroidered on it:
    My name is scraps, I'm full of boobs made with love and greatly used!!!
    I bet you'll have sewn a whole heap of love into the PJ's and that is what counts, doesn't it?!
    Send some sewing vibes my way will you.
    Hugs San xx

    I have the same fabric! I was going to make Joe some shorts in summer but never got round to it, maybe I should make PJ's instead?
