Christmas Jammies!!!

What can be better than cozy Christmas Pajamas?  Only drinking hot chocolate and opening presents in said pajamas, or wearing said pajamas all day long while watching Christmas movies!  In our home we have a Christmas tradition in which the kiddos are allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve and that present is always pajamas (or jammies, or PJ's or jamas in our house.)  My kids LOVE this tradition, but not as much as I do!  I don't know what it is about making Pj's, but it is so much fun.   Maybe it's because they go fast, or because you can go a little crazy with the print.  Or maybe it's because wearing pajamas is pretty fantastic!  These are some pajamas I've made in Christmases past.



Well I just recently finished the pajamas for this year.  Yes I know its early, but when you are planning on making a ridiculous amount of presents for family and friends (I have issues) you start early.

Here are this years Pajamas
These are my son's


I use This pattern by Jalie for the top for all of the pajamas.  These are great patterns! This pattern is 13$, I usually don't like to pay over 5$ (I'm cheap!)  but this pattern includes 27 sizes!  Yes that's right 27.  I can dress my four year old and my 6'5" husband with the same pattern!  The only downside is that Jalie is a Canadian company so shipping is high.  They have a lot of great patterns so I suggest buying in bulk.    

I am in love with this vintage inspired cowboy print!   

These pajamas will go to my youngest.

 I wanted to do something a little different so I added this pleated detail to the hem of the pants and the sleeves on the girls pajamas.    

These pajamas will belong to my oldest.  She is starting to enter the tween zone so I wanted a print that was girlie and fun, but a little less childish.

Now that the 'jamas are done it's time to move on to the other things on my mile long to-do list.
