Alright stop... pyjama time!

Come on little kiddies, on my lap, guess who's back with a brand new rap...

OK really, this post isn't about Eminem's 'Just lose it' song...

Needing a quick spell of all that is hessian in my house at the moment (well perhaps the floors needing it more than me given it goes EVERYWHERE and I really should be cleaning the house for a first birthday party on Sunday...) I decided to bite the bullet and make Jett some jammy pants. I first mentioned I was planning on making Jett some from some cool oppy material I brought a couple of months ago. And for those of you who can sew you're probably thinking 'It's not hard, why procrastinate?', but I thought they would be. I was wrong! Boy how quick and satisfying are they to whip up??? I never knew...
So here's the first item of clothing I've ever made (OK... that worked out!). As you can see, they've passed the wearability test with Jett.
It's made me motivated enough to even try French seams on the second pair I made out of an old pillowcase Bec found for me in an op shop.
I've been saving my 'best' material for the next pair, until I was feeling more confident. This is some of the lovely material I brought from Melanie at Kimono Reincarnate - how cute is it? It's all cut up so I just need to start sewing.
I'll just have to work up the courage to try and applique something on a little top so they each have matching tops...

Aha now you'll be addicted to whipping up little pairs of pants in between bags.
They're all so cute!

And you just wait until you start applique...you won't be able to stop!

Those citrus stripey pants are so cute :)

Well done - isn't it so satisfying when you complete a sewing project and they look as cool as this? Love the Kimono Reincarnate fabric.

They are so cute! I love that you made them out of a sheet and a pillow case. What a cool and talented mummy Jett has! :)

So exciting to see the Maneki Neko fabric is going to be used for those cute little pants!
