I have been wanting to make the boys some pajama pants for a while out of some tacky kid fabric that I would never pick out myself and let them pick out. However for a fun stocking stuffer I let them pick out some fabric and made pillowcases.
I had a ton of plaid flannel fabric left over from stockings that I made a couple years ago so I opted for that to make the pants with instead of buying more fabric.
I semi-used this tutorial that I found on Pinterest...
It is a very helpful tutorial but I was in a lazy mood and thought I could figure it out once I got started. I kind of did :)
I was also too lazy to drive to the store to buy elastic so I made them drawstring.
My intention was for these to be their "Christmas PJ's" instead of paying money for actual Christmas PJ's that they can only wear for a couple weeks because then it's not Christmas any more. I like to think of myself as a reasonable shopper and cute PJ's are way too expensive for something that 95% of the time they are going to wear when they're home and in bed.
When I mentioned to the boys that these are their Christmas PJ's they wanted to know why there are no snowflakes, snowmen or Santa Claus on them...
So depending on how hard they push the issue I may have to go buy some Christmas-y iron on patches to Christmas them up!
While making these I realized I am getting ready to have a girl because it was all I could do not to put ruffles on them somewhere! :)
