"Bedtime" Smocked PJs for Ahnalin


Ahnalin fell in love with the 
"Bedtime"
baby doll pajamas designed
by Cathy Gunn


I am doing my best to not
purchase any extra fabric.
So I told Ahnalin she could go shopping
in my still-much-too-big-and-completely-embarrassing
stash. 

She adores anything red.

And this cotton gingham, 
which I purchased years ago 
for $1.00 a yard,
is very light, with just a touch of polyester.


Ahnalin wanted a different smocking design.
So we just played around and this
is what we came up with.


She thought it was hilarious 
that I asked her to stand up
ON MY BED!!


The pattern is designed for 
sizes 3,4 and 5.

I cut the 5.

But I had to sew the neck opening
with a 5/8" seam because
the standard 3/8" made the neck hole too tight.

The size 5 is VERY loose and roomy
other than the small neck opening.

And my girl loves her new jammies!

Sweet Dreams My Angel!


Happy Sewing!

The pj's look so cute, cool & comfy. I smocked summer night gowns, when they were little, with robes to match. Ahnalin is quite the model for all your beautiful work.

So cute.n The gingham looks so fresh. My girls are in size 8-10 so I think I have another pattern I can modify to do this.

Sivje....you are an inspiration! AT 5 Emma is telling me smocked dresses are too "baby"!!! Well, I told her she still has to wear them for me. But this is great idea and so cute.
Thanks loads,
Gwen
