Cozy and Cute! The Peek-a-boo Alex and Anna PJs

It's my day on the Boys in Pajamas Blog Tour hosted by Sunni of Made for Little Gents. This blog tour was sponsored by Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop. I was given a copy of the Alex and Anna Winter Pajamas for participating in this blog tour. (Also, if you scroll to the very bottom, you'll find a giveaway to enter to win credit for Peek-a-boo pattern shop).

I decided to use this blog tour as an opportunity to get Christmas Pajamas finished up early! 😉 I made a new set of super cute and cozy pajamas for my two boys and my little nephew. Unfortunately, the weather has NOT been cooperative lately, so we have pictures of these guys wearing their Christmas pajamas sitting on my bed. Not the best backdrop, but it'll do.

It's really hard to get three little guys to do the same thing at the same time!
Aren't they adorable?

Let me tell you about this pattern:

 This pattern is for knit pajamas. It includes sizes for children sizes 3 months all the way to children's size 12! It is rated for beginners. This pattern contains pattern pieces to make two piece pajamas (long sleeve tee shirt and pajama pants).

The shirt is just your basic slim-fitting knit pajama top. It has sleeve cuffs is hemmed at the waist.


The pants are slim-fitting, similar to leggings, and are finished with cuffs at the ankles and an elastic waistband.

This is a very easy pattern to sew, and is not time-consuming at all. You can have a couple of new sets complete in a few hours! The pattern includes layers and AO formatting, and is available for $7.95.

In case you were wondering what it's really like trying to photograph two boys 😜

These Christmas Pajamas

 I sewed a size 12 month, a 2T, and a 5T for my boys and my nephew. The little guys probably could have fit in one size down, but growing room is never a bad thing! Plus, we cloth diaper, so I tend to err on the side of caution to ensure there is enough room for their "fluff." 😉 They fit fine over their diapers.



I used solid fabrics for these pajamas that I purchased from Purple Seamstress! This fabric is an excellent quality 95% cotton/ 5% spandex. At only $6.50/ yard, you cannot beat the price! I think I purchased 3 yards of each color, but I definitely had a good bit left over, so 2 would have likely been sufficient for these sizes!

I decided that they needed a super cute Christmas applique to complete them. I used a gift design from Applique Market. I used my Embrilliance embroidery software to add their names. Funny thing - I thought I used the same font for all three, but after I finished, I realized I didn't! haha The design stitched out nicely.

I think these pajamas are SO CUTE! These actually make really cute baby leggings/ pants too. The littlest guys have worn theirs out a time or two as well. I may make a few more "comfy pants" for the younger two boys using the pants from this pattern. 🙂

Daniel's reaction  to his new pajamas was my FAVORITE thing! We put them on him to take a picture, and he immediately ran his hands down his belly where the applique is, and he said, "Wow, I look fancy!" He is super proud of his new pajamas!

Daniel is super proud of his new pajamas!
Don't they all look "fancy"? And they're all ready for Christmas Eve! 🎄🎅

Breaking Ground... FINALLY trying out Itch To Stitch

I've heard nothing but positive reviews on Itch To Stitch Patterns, and I've been meaning to try them out. In fact, I may own one or two, but have never sewed them. When I heard about this "Breaking Ground" Blog Tour, I knew it was the perfect time to try out one of these designers that I've been wanting to try, but apparently haven't had the motivation to sew. I had a scrap of this liverpool left over that I really love, so I had to find the perfect thing to make. I remembered seeing this cute petal pencil skirt on the Itch To Stitch site. It looked easy enough, and would be perfect for my fabric, so I thought, "Why not start with that?" **This post may contain my affiliate links. If you choose to make a purchase from my link, I will receive a small commision of the sale at no additional charge to you.** So here we are... the push I finally needed to spend a few minutes sewing (minutes is right... it's a fast sew). Look at my new skir...

January Releases from Amelia Lane Designs

I always get so excited about new fabric releases from Amelia Lane Designs. Frequently, they give me the opportunity to sew something I might not otherwise and try something new. I have learned a lot sewing for them, like how to sew swim and athletic wear. But I've also learned that I actually LIKE wearing fun prints and designs that I haven't always worn.  ** Disclosure: I have included affiliate links to patterns used in this post. If you choose to purchase a pattern using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** For this release, I tried something that is really not me - this fun animal print! There have been a few releases recently with fun animal-print fabrics, and I have not sewn any of them, because I thought I wouldn't like wearing them. But after seeing some of the other sewists in the ALD Facebook Group sharing their makes, I knew I HAD to try it! I am really glad I did. This dress makes me so happy! This fabric is a d...

It also has a couple of lengths - for the hemband to sit on the waist or the hips.  Both versions can be made with several necklines- three different rounded necklines, a v neckline, or a squared neckline.
