Polar Bear Pajamas

 I made polar bear pajamas. I found the fabric in a pair of adult pajama bottoms at the clothes by the pound thrift store.

I thought that the polar bears were just too cute, and they are small enough to work in doll scale.

This is the pattern that I used- Simplicity Do537.

The pajamas were very fast and straightforward to sew.

I struggled a bit with the hem on the bottom of the pajama top. The stretchy fabric just didn't want to sew neatly.

I have enough of the fabric left to make another pair of pajamas. I am deciding whether to use the same pattern again or try a different one.

Elf on the Shelf

 I found the AG Elf on the Shelf at the thrift store about a year and a  half ago.

It was in the craft aisle for $4! I have carefully been checking the craft aisle ever since.

I was pleased that I got to take some pictures with it this year.

Ellie, my #4, was pleased to serve as a model. 

Maybe some year I will be organized enough to do a series of Elf on the Shelf pictures. This is not that year.

Christmas pajamas

 Here are some pictures of Danielle and Maritza sporting Christmas pajamas.

Naturally, Maritza got the "sporty" Christmas pajamas.

Danielle lost her glasses. I swear it was her and not me.. she's been on display and I haven't touched her. LOL.

New Pajamas

My friend came over to visit with several pieces of felt. "Let's make pajamas for the tiny dolls," she said. "Let's not use a pattern!"

I was extremely skeptical, because I didn't think I was that good. To my surprise, I did actually make some pajamas, and they are pretty cute.

My friend didn't finish hers yet, because she was more ambitious than I was. She was trying to make a tiny version of Kit's new One Piece Pajamas..

However, mine is finished, and I am so glad she pushed me to challenge myself!

I did "cheat" and use a pattern for the top- but it was definitely not my idea to not use a pattern!
