Pattern description (taken from pattern):
Get out your new pajamas for the sleepover! The pattern for this boys' or girls' pajama top, which was inspired by vintage baseball jersey styling, features contrast trim at the outside edge and on the pockets. The cuff at the sleeves can be let down as the child grows. The elastic-waist pull-on pants have no side seam for extra sleeping comfort and include contrast bias trim at the hem that can also be let down as the child grows. Make the alternate view with ruffles for a sweet girls' version. Available in two sizes: 6months-4 and 5-12.
ADVANCED BEGINNER: Suitable for someone who has sewn from a pattern before or has taken a few classes and completed several projects.
Fabric recommendations:
Flannel or any lightweight woven fabrics like quilting cotton, broadcloth, lawn, shirting, poplin, voile, and linen. I chose a Riley Blake flannel (which I got for a steal at StitchSteals.com) and a coordinating solid brown flannel.
Overall design and fit:
They fit perfect; and I love that the cuffs on the sleeves and pants can be let down when he outgrows them - this will make them last for a couple of years.
Written instructions:
Are easy to follow, just pay attention to the right side/wrong side when putting pieces together. Everything made perfect sense, and is in 'beginner' language.
Tips + Modifications:
None. In my opinion, this pattern is flawless. The only thing I did a little different, is used up some of my cute star snaps (how could I not, they go perfect with this All Star print) instead of buttons. And because my little guy has long torso/short little legs, I turned the full cuff up on the pants to shorten them a little extra, but it will make them last that much longer.
Time spent:
It took me one morning to go over all the directions and cutout the pieces, and two nap times to sew it all together. So in less than two days the pajamas were complete and being worn by my little guy.
Conclusion:
I love this pattern. Seriously, can you get any cuter than this?! I have definitely found the Oliver+S love ~ modern patterns with easy-to-follow instructions and professional results. I've already got the Princess flannel ready for the next pair for my daughter :)
