A Gift Finish

Just a quick post while I take a break from my sewing.  I managed to finish up a pair of pajamas for my nephew.


It is really bright outside, cold, and a bit windy, so I didn't try to stand around too long trying to get a "perfect" photo.  The pattern is Bedtime Story Pajamas by Oliver + S.  The fabric is some Cosmo Cricket that I got on sale for $5 a yard.  The only thing left to do is put the elastic in the waistband of the pants...and I might wait to do that until after my nephew opens them. 

The pattern went together very easily and quickly.  It really didn't take much time at all.  I spent more time tracing all of the pattern pieces, since I was making a size 6 and wanted to be able to make a larger size later if I wanted.  Oliver + S rates their pattern difficulty by number of scissors and this pattern is only a one scissor pattern.  I find that the directions to the patterns are very well written and clear.
