In going through UFOs and fabric stash recently, I've found that I have several yardages, enough of each for backings or garments. These were likely bought in the heat of passion without a plan of use in mind--that "oh, I have to have some of that!" feeling. You know the kind.
I also found these pajama patterns and decided that some of these yardages would make great pj pants. So, I wonder if I could get a few sewn by Christmas for gifts. That would maybe mean laying aside the dog blocks and other UFOs I'm working on. We'll see. I think the pj pants will be quick to make. Maybe just a few pairs for the girls (daughters, nieces, DIL, sisters, etc.). The girls do add up, don't they?

Love the patterns and yes, you can do it! Why, it's not quite December yet. Remember that Little Engine That Could! The fabric dogs will understand if they're put on the back burner for now.
I hope to brave an attempt to alter 3 colorful pairs of flannel pj pants that belonged to AMIL when she was much heavier. They're nearly new but fall off of me and I think suspenders are out of the question. I've never tried to alter anything, but think I have enough fabric that's extra that I can put a drawstring or more elastic in if I have to cut off what's there.
Christmas music is playing here in my sewing room, a group called Blackamore's Night and the CD is Winter's Carols. It became a favorite last year. For more than a decade, I've rocked to Mannheim Steamroller thru the Christmas season.
Hugs!

Easy Peasy Christmas gifts! Just remember to either pre-wash the fabric or make them extra long. Someone gifted me a pair of pj pants, and the first time I washed them, they shrunk two inches! Can you say high water pjs?!!!
