As usual I have many projects on my list for Kids Clothes Week, but OBVIOUSLY my number one priority was brother/sister bunny pajamas for Easter. I never pegged myself as the type to sew coordinating anything for my children, but apparently I am exactly that type.
Every year I envision myself making Christmas pajamas, and every year December fills up with other things. In fact the only year I actually made them, they were finished in November. That’s probably the key. Anyway, I found this cute bunny fabric right before the New Year, and fresh with my failure to deliver Christmas pajamas, I snatched it up for Easter pjs. I figured four months of lead time should be enough to make it happen.
The pants are made with the Oliver + S Sleepover Pajamas pattern. Oscar’s are size 18-24 months and came out pretty big, but I’m not concerned – they’ll probably fit tomorrow. He is huge for his age and just keeps on gettin’ huger. And I would’ve preferred to make Lila’s in a 5 (her last pair were 4s), but since I only have the smaller size range in this pattern I used the 4 and added a 1/2 inch to the rise and another 1/2 inch to the legs, which worked out just fine. I like that the cuffs on the Sleepover Pajamas can be rolled up or let down for a more adjustable fit.
I used Old Navy t-shirts for the tops, and added snoozing bunny patches. T-shirts are easy enough to make, but at $4 a pop, they sure are easy to buy, too.
The bunnies (Bunny Brigade from Critter Patch Organic) are from Clothworks and were designed by Alyssa Thomas of Penguin & Fish. So that explains why they’re so cute. Just like her embroidery patterns.
The cuffs and waistbands are Lizzy House’s Jewels in Aqua and Peach.
I hope to finish at least one more project this week – in the meantime I’ll be perusing everyone else’s KCW creations!
Adorable!
Adorable indeed! Good luck for your other project.
They’re lovely – and such great colours, too. Gorgeous!
Love love love this fabric. Super cute!!!
So cute!! That fabric is adorable.
These are so cute. What a good idea to make Easter pjs bc I tend to flake out on Christmas pjs too! Also I’m with you on coordinating clothes. I thought I’d never do it but now I just can’t help it- they’re so cute! Plus my oldest begs to match his brother so that just adds fuel to the matchymatchy fire. 🙂
waw, how cute are these! really adorable!
What great photos and I love the idea of Easter pajamas!! I especially like the two styles of colours and they look so comfortable 🙂
i saw these photos on flickr and immediately was all “that supergail. always with the perfect fabric combos!” like seriously did a double take it was so good. easter pjs are a great idea, especially since flannel ones won’t be super appropriate soon. i love that fabric!!
_So_ cute! Love it!
What a great idea! I have never seen matching Easter jammies. You will have some great Easter morning photos. They are so adorable.
I have fabric stashed upstairs and pj patterns printed out…from those Christmas ambitions. Easter ambitions make much more sense. I love these!
I love the bunnies! And I think Easter jammies are just great! So cute!
Those pajamas are ridiculously cute!
So, so cute! I love the fabrics and the matching! With a girl and boy it seems like there won’t be all that many opportunities for matching, so I say go for it! I just made my kids some matching pj pants too. They might even cooperate tonight for a picture 🙂
Oh so sweet… delicious fabric! And had a giggle bout t-shirts being easy to make but easy to buy too!
These are so adorable! I always have the best intentions about finishing pjs, and it never seems to quite happen.
I’m using those exact fabrics for matching Easter things for my little ones! Isn’t it just THE BEST?
