FUN Flannel PJ Shorts!

 Vintage + Modern = Totally FUN!!! 

When I asked the kids what kind of PJs they wanted this year, my oldest requested flannel shorts. I grabbed this vintage pattern from my stash and immediately remembered this pin, that had inspired me to have a little fun making these more than just plain pjs. And fun I had making these!

Each pair individually and uniquely embellished with a variety of trims I had tucked in my stash. 

I LOVE working with trims!!! 

Each of my girls got froggie ones like this in time for Christmas. :)

And of course some of my favorite sewing labels to add that final touch!

 And since I was on a roll, I made these 4 pair for each of my volley ball playing nieces.

Hope they like them as much as my girls do theirs! 

Hope you are having some FUN sewing times too!

BIG NEWS! + Holidays Past - Tutorial Round-Up

In a moment, everything has changed for us.

Our family has just welcomed a precious little one into our hearts and home through foster care. This was a bit (ENTIRELY!) :) unexpected, so I'm likely to be out of the loop for a while as we adjust. I have a couple of posts ready to share with you, but this may delay our kick off for January as we take things day by day. Thank you in advance for your support and understanding.

Rachael at imagine gnats is planning a special auction to support the families of CT, so be watching for how you can be a part of that.

And, with Christmas just a week away now, here's a quick share of some of my previous Christmas tutorials I thought you might enjoy! Maybe one will be just right for a last minute project or gift you can create. :)
