After sewing a lot for Designed by Danni the last few weeks, I decided yesterday to sew for me! (Or rather my kids!!)
I upcycled a pair of G’s old PJ pants with an op shop pair to make him some new ones. I knew he was up for a new pair when I found him pants less one night in bed. The elastic had gone on his PJs and he had somehow wiggled out of them in his sleep!!!! Putting new pants on a sleeping three year old is quite tricky 🙂
I’m a bit cross with myself as I made an error in measurement and miscalculated the amount I would need for the joining of the two fabrics so the finished product is a bit short. He seems happy though, wearing his PJs at lunch time and having a “frofy milo” – hot choc!
I also whipped up a couple of hooded towels for the kids. G has had the same two towels for ages that are on rotation so he was desperate for another and R didn’t have a hooded towel. As its med winter here and we’ve been getting -2c temperatures over night, a nice snuggly towel is great for getting from the bath in front of the fire to get dried.
They’re the same colour because the hand towels used to make the hoods came in packs of two and I was too cheap to buy four so I could get different colours. The letters on the hoods are so we know which child is which…
I love your hooded towels. They are so handy and what a great idea to add the initials 🙂
I think I’ll do some more and maybe try an adult sized one with a bath sheet for my husband!!
