new jammies for ryan!



today i made up 2 pairs of pj's for ryan. (I'd cut them out on Sunday). took me about 2.5 hours i think. it makes life so much faster with an overlocker - thanks mum LOL (i just visited hers)

these pj's were made from more of the colorado cotton from alice's co-op, using cornflower blue and new lime green. I hadn't thought to but ribbing used is some white mum had stashed away, and top-stitched everything with white to tie it all in. the two pairs are opposite colourways (ie: blue sleeves / green body and vice versa)

the pattern for the shirt is the raglan shirt from the sewing for toddlers book (thanks to a cyberfriend, emjay) and the shorts patter is from the same one i used to make emelia's pink christmas dress (yes, it's a girl's pattern but perfect for boxers!) believe it or not these are a size FOUR (ryan is a size 2, going into a 3). at least i know they'll fit next year!
