New PJs!

Well I FINALLY got the time to sit down and finish these pjs for my boys. I had made Jordan's pants and had Jai's cut out from about 3 weeks ago. Then I was on the search for just a nice round neck top pattern as the simplicity pattern I used for the pants has a V neck for their top. I used it last time but found it very fiddly (couldn't really work out their instructions) and also found the the V neck sat a bit too low and could be a bit too cold for this weather. So finally found a McCalls pattern (another one with the boys and mens size in one) and ended up tracing and cutting out Wednesday and sewing them up yesterday. I actually finished Jai's pants off while Steve gave them a bath as I was determined that they both have them to wear last night. Here's some photos.

Say "Cheese"

Jordan being crazy lol!

I'm really happy with ho they turned out - the pants are the easiest one's ever, love that pattern! The tops were really easy too - This was the first time I've used rib and it was much easier than I thought. It was also the first time I'd used the twin needle on my new machine, it was so much easier to set up than my last one - this one has a "twin needle" button you press and it automatically adjusts the tension etc so I got it right first time - Yay! Jai's top is still a little bit big, my fault as I thought it looked a bit small after I traced off the pattern so added a bit more length to it - at least it'll keep him nice and warm!

Now I think I'd better get started one another pair or two ;)

PS Can anyone spot what I did wrong?

Hint: Look carefully at Jai's pants lol.
