My poor, patient son. Two years ago he wanted a new set of winter pajamas. I went out and got him some fun fabric, and then that project got pushed aside over and over again as more pressing things came up, or it turned summer and stuff like that. Propelled by the spirit of the De-Stash-along, I decided to bust this out this weekend. Shockingly, my son has grown in the past two years, so I had to size up the pattern and was consequently a little bit short of fabric to complete the shirt. I had a length of solid blue flannel that was originally purchased for a different project (one year or so ago), but I’ve been thinking of going in a different direction for that. Blue flannel to the rescue!
Nice job! Way to make it work.

They look great! Good solution. And also good reminder that I too bought flannel for jammies last year and still haven’t made any …

Handsome youngster, and cheerful pajamas! They look toasty and fun. I like the look of the patterned fabric with the solid.

I think you’re right – the pajamas would have been fine all in the patterned fabric, but the solid really turned out to be a good touch. Maybe it’s a good thing I waited too long… lol
