Here are the pictures of Drew's pjs from Ottobre 1/2009 #5 & #10.
Little boys don't hold still for pictures.
Daddy had to get in there to help him pose correctly!
I love how these turned out. I haven't sewn with knits as much as woven fabrics, so I am still learning. They were really easier than I thought they would be (which is usually the case when it comes to how I perceive sewing!) so I am not sure why I put them off for so long.
Ottobre's instructions are very short. No detailed pictures for each little step like you'd find in the Big 4 (Vogue, McCall, Butterick & Simplicity). They give basic instructions for certain details, but the main instructions for each pattern tend to be about a paragraph (short, too) or two. If you have no experience sewing, you will want to start with something else or have a more experienced person available for help if necessary. Even with the not-so-detailed instructions, these are not complicated patterns.
These turned out exactly like the pictures in the magazine.
I plan to make several more pairs of pajamas for him using these patterns, but I will probably make the pants just a bit longer.
I give this pattern two thumbs up!
So cute!! I love the fabric and the red ribbing is a great contrast. He looks adorable.
ReplyDeleteWow Kristin, thank you soooo much for jumping right in to help me find these! The shower curtain tutorial was just the right one! Although I love the duvet that the other tutorial makes too, the one I'm looking for is called the crown crane duvet cover. It's done in what looks like ruched squares. So if you've seen a tutorial for that one please let me know. I've added both of those blogs to my google reader though. Thank you so much for your help!
