Well, we succombed and made some Christmas pajamas for the girls! Of course, hindsight told us that “Christmas pajamas” didn’t necessarily mean “Christmas FABRIC pajamas.” Rest assured, we’ve told our sister these pjs can be worn anytime – Christmas or otherwise. Really….I mean, who else is going to see these girls once they go down for bed?!?!
We followed the Oliver + S, Sleepover Pajama Pattern to make both girls a set of pajamas.
We had used the pattern before for the pants portion of another pair. However, since we didn’t read the directions thoroughly, we had to go a little rogue on the cuff area. So, on this round, we got it right!
The outfits matched….with minimal changes between the two.

| EA’s pajamas |

| CL’s pajamas |
And, yes, that white sheet {thank you, Project Run and Play Season 5} is still coming in handy!
The Christmas pajama photos were taken in a whirlwind….
Right before present opening began…..
We put our stand-in elf, EA, to work…seen in the background, checking out the action.
And snapped a few pictures of CL while someone was preoccupied.
Then, once Elf EA’s work was done, we took a few pictures of the happy helper to capture the events of the evening.
Were the pajamas a hit??? You bet! So much so, that Miss EA decided the bottoms would match perfectly with her dress for church the next day! Upon removal, fit-pitching commenced, but, in her defense….they were BOTH made from the same white sheet!
So, will we ever sew the girls a pair of pajamas again? We’re open to the notion…..but, note to selves, maybe not quite as seasonally specific.

Now those are some cute pajamas… and some cute little girls to wear them!
I don’t thing the fabric is too Christmas-specific… it isn’t like it has elves or reindeer all over it. =)
I don’t see any piping though! Did I just miss it, or did you leave it off in favor of the original directions this time? =)
You caught us!!! We really, really, really wanted to add some piping in various locations but had difficulty seeing how the finished product would come together with the addition. We laughed out loud after reading your comment — you know us (and our love for piping) sooooooo well!!!
Very cute and I too think they aren’t too season specific. Love that the white sheet is still coming in handy. I tossed mine b/c it brings back so many bad memories.
Oh wow…. It must have been awful!!! We are nearing the end of the white sheet and may have to do a blog post in its honor at its completion.
I love these pjs (and I can definetly see yout “touch” there)!
Love the fabric choices and your sweet details!
Hope you had a wonderfull Christmas!
