oliver + s bedtime story pajamas!

Well as most of you know i have spend a good part of a couple of days trying to make these gorgeous pyjamas!! As per usual it took me longer than i first thought, basically because i am so VERY new to sewing and i find tracing and cutting the pattern takes ages too!!

So here is a pic of the pattern i bought, its so cute!! I bought on the recommendation of a few lovely ladies. You can check out another blog with these pj's here!



And here is Eleisha modeling the finished product!! They are a little too big ( i made her a size 4 which is her size so i do think this pattern is a little larger if you are planning on making them!). I still have 2 more pairs to make for my other girls so hopefully it will mean i will get quicker at making them by the end of it all! Eleisha chose this fabric, i wasn't too sure on it but she was adamant that it was what she wanted for her pj's!!





So there you have them, i made a few mistakes making these and the end product is far from perfect but E loves them and cant wait to wear them to bed tonight! In fact when she first saw them this morning she said they were her karate pyjamas! LOL!

I have 2 other oliver + s patterns here to make, so once i finish the pj's i cant wait to get started on them!

  1. They are gorgeous! You've inspired me to finish the PJs I started for S last winter, lucky I started making them big. Pants are easy, it's the tops I get stuck on.

  2. These look great Lou - I love that they are her karate PJ's. I didn't know there was such a thing as a pink fairy belt though!

  6. They must be the most adorable and cutest PJs I have ever seen! I think she chose the fabric well too - it suits her.

    Can't wait to see the other 2 PJs too.
