Day 231 - PJ's for my big boy.

Happy Monday!

Christmas is less than 2 months away now and I want to make some gifts, so I thought I'd get started. I'm going to make PJ' for my kids and 2 of my nephews so this is the first pair. These are for my eldest son Liam. Unfortunately as these are all gifts my usual models will not be diplaying the finished products. Sorry for that.

I found this skeleton silky fabric at the op shop a few weeks ago for $1. It fits in quite nicely with the pirate theme I inadvertently have going. Aye!

I think I can make 2 pairs of PJ bottoms with the fabric that is there. I have also bought a heap of plain coloured tshirts for $3 at Kmart which will form the basis of the PJ tops.

Liam's favourite colour is yellow so he has a yellow shirt, and I just sewed on one of the images from the potato stamped fabric that I also used for the pirate loot bag.

And here are the finished PJs. Fit for a pirate captain me thinks! If you disagree you're nothing but a scurvy dog!

Day 16 - My son is a Pirate School Graduate

It's been a year since my 7 year old son Liam and I went to pirate school for the day down at the Pollywoodside in Melbourne (http://www.pollywoodside.com.au/). We had such a brilliant time at pirate school and imagine a mother's pride at knowing her son is now a fully fledged pirate? It seemed only fitting that we commemorate a year since this glorious day. And what 7 year old boy doesn't need a pair of pirate shorts?
