Pajama Pants in Progress

I still need to put in the elastic waistband and hem the bottoms, but here is a sneak peek of my kiddos' Christmas pajama pants (Luke's size 2T)...


These are turning out even cuter than I expected!  I loved the fabric when I saw it, but just wasn't sure how it would look as a pair of pajama pants...

...I'm thinking my older kiddos are going to look so cute at their Polar Express Party on Wednesday!


Tutorial to come.  I'm off now to make a pair of  6X and 9/10.  Can someone please tell my 2nd grader to stop growing?!!! :)

Linking  up with Amy at Homestead Revival for her

Market/Tote Bags are Finished!

My daughter and I had a lovely time at the Kansas City Ballet last night.  We attended the Friday evening performance of The Nutcracker.  After yesterday's tragedy in CT, it was good for my soul!

This morning I was able to finish up the last of the market/tote bags for my kids' teachers.  I have a few last minute embellishments that I want to add, but otherwise am pleased with how they turned out. 

Bag #1 (Red Chevron w/ Black Floral coordinating fabric)


Bag #2 (Orange geometric circles with orange scroll pattern coordinating fabric)



And finally, market/tote bag #3 (pink and green paisley with pink and green striped coordinating fabric).


It's hard to pick...but I think the pink and green paisley might be my favorite.  I have a bit of yardage leftover and plan on attaching one big bow with tails to one handle for a bit of embellishment.

Do you have a favorite?

Now, I only have three (3) pairs of Christmas pajama pants to sew before my kiddos' "Polar Express" party on the 19th!  whew!  Tutorial to come.

Happy Saturday.  We are off to a corporate Christmas Party tonight.  'Tis the Season!
