A week of sewing day 1
So, I’m a little late with this post – but I am supposed to commit to sewing for an hour every day this week as part of the kids clothes week challenge. Yesterday I met that goal – from 1am-2am and made these pajamas =)
These are the first pair of pants I have ever made… I used instructions from Dana-Made-It on how to make your own pattern using existing pajamas, but forgot to leave enough space at the top for an elastic casing. So I did something I hadn’t done before – sewed the elastic directly onto the pants – you know, using a ball point needle and stretching the elastic as I went. I always enjoy learning and trying new techniques – so it was fun! They are by NO means perfect fitting, but they work and withstood a full day of playing!
Today I was planning on working in a sky tent that I started for R a while back…but just haven’t had time to get to it yet as I have a project due for work. So the plan is: work on my project for an hour, get A LOT done, and then work on my sky tent from 11-12 to meet my commitment. Wish me luck!

Love the pants! They are adorable. Not sure as to what a sky tent is but good luck with it!
thanks dacia! i’m probably not calling it the right thing – it is on of those hanging canopies from the ceiling that kids can play in. i didn’t get to it last night, but hoping I can do doulbe time today =)
Have you seen the movie the Holiday? If so, is that tent from the daughter’s room the same thing you are talking about? I thought that was an amazing idea for a kids room when I saw that movie.
That fabric is adorable and so is your little one.
