Pajama Pants!

I have been working on making my son a Quiet Book for his birthday. I'm pretty excited about it. It's a book that's all about him and our family and our life, it's becoming so special that it might be better to give it to him when he has kids. Eh... but then what would the fun in that be??? :)

So yesterday, I was working on a specific page that tells him his first name. On it is a huge lion with a mane made completely out of scraps. I would post a picture, but it's not finished yet. I discovered that sewing on the scraps with an actual sewing machine seemed like a smarter plan when I'm expecting a little one year old to be pulling on it and such. Well, I got to a place where my page needs a trip to Hobby Lobby and decided that since my sewing machine was already out, I should make something. Then it hit me... why not finally make those pajama pants I've been wanting to do?!!

A while ago I discovered this this blog (Thank You Pinterest!), and thought it looked simple enough.

The thing I find to be amusing is how a lot of tutorials promise that their project can be done in such-n-such time. I think they're amusing because for me, it only works out to be somewhere in that time frame if the sun, moon, and all the stars line up just right. This tutorial, though, was actually simple enough that I could have taken Fifteen Minutes if I didn't have a ten month old wanting my attention.

So here's my final result:

Aren't those the cutest pants you've ever seen? They were a bit long, mostly because I felt that "too long" shouldn't be in my vocabulary. I wanted pants that would stick with him for a little while. So Daddy rolled up the pant legs for him. Otherwise, pretty much perfect is what I'm thinking.

I think what I love most about this "pattern" is that it's easily translated to all sizes! I'm thinking about making myself a matching pair.

Would it be too weird to have Mother/Son Matching Pajamas? :)
