Star Wars Pajamas

I just wanted to quickly post about these pajamas that I made the week between Christmas and New Year.  I love these so much!!  The pattern is the Sweet Dreams Button Up PJ Set from Peek A Boo Pattern Shop.

I love the piping around the neckline and sleeves.  I'd definitely recommend this pattern.  Travis got to choose his own fabric this time.

Here is one of my recent Instagram photos.  

If you love instagram too find me and we'll hook up --  I'm CraftyNHmom on there too. 

Here's a clue as to why he wanted this fabric, Darth Vader.

animal pajamas

Again with the pajamas, I know!  But that's what he needed.  I also had this animal fabric laying around since 2005 and needed to do something with it or get rid of it. 

The shirt is freezer paper stenciled on a 90 minute shirt both ideas I found from Dana at MADE.  I know now I will never ever get tired of making the 90 minute shirt.  I can get one done in about 60 minutes now, and the color combos are endless!

I've had a little less time this week, Travis is now in a toddler bed.  Some of the time he lays right down and goes to sleep, other times he runs out of bed, and I put him back, and this pattern goes on until he passes out from exhaustion!  He's one determined little bugger.

Here he is helping take the crib apart with his toy drill.

linking up to this today:

 

Right now I've got a few sewing projects going on.  When Travis goes in for his nap I'm not sure what to work on!  I'm thinking of making some gifts for the kids to put away for Christmas.  I'll have to work on those secretly.  For Maura I've been meaning to make Clucky the Chook, so that's in the works.  I'm thinking Travis would like some quilted letters, so I started on those too.  I'll post the pictures as I complete them.  It may be a little while because I just ordered even more new patterns and I'm having idea overload at the moment.  See you soon!

fishy pajamas and a peasant boy!

Here are the latest projects:

Travis' pajamas made from scraps of his rollie pollie.  This pattern is New Look 6932.  I added this fishy with some orange t-shirt scaps I had.

We went to the faire this past weekend, so I whipped up this muffin hat for Liam.  He wanted to be a peasant:

I found a good video tutorial here, how to make a lined muffin hat.  I have to say this one was way better quality than the ones they were selling there.  So make a muffin hat, don't buy one!

More photos of the faire:

Maura's outfit, the cloak came in handy, it was cold!!

ye olde sandbox?

of course the Tiny Terror would have NOTHING TO DO with the knight's tabbard I made for him.  Little stinker, I should have known!

I'm thinking of making Tiny T. a fall/winter coat.  I will have to install a padlock on the zipper somehow since he is adamant not to wear any kind of coat or sweatshirt.  I got this adorable DMK Warm Hoodie pattern, and also this one, DMK Trendy Pea Coat.  I can't wait to try out one of those.

 

KCWC - Day One

I am off to a running start today for the Elsie Marley Kids Clothes Week Challenge.  With 4 kids in the house, I'm definitely not at a loss for fall sewing projects.

Today I finished these much needed pajamas for Travis (Thanks for taking a 3 hour nap, by the way):

These were, once again, from pattern New Look 6932.  Which is probably the most useful pattern I own, since it includes sizes for my 2 year old AND my 9 year old.  Can't beat that.

"Alas, Poor Yoric, I knew him well"

 I love these weird poses we got today!  Travis is a real character these days.  A recent conversation I overheard between him and his 12 year old brother:

James: "Travis, don't throw my things, that's not funny!!!"
(pause)
Travis: "How bout....funny?"

Up next for the KCWC : Heidi and Finn Hoodie, and finish the hem of Maura's Rennaisance costume, also I'm dying to try the new underpants pattern from that Darn Cat...
