A little Christmas Sewing

When brainstorming how to sew up PJ pants this year for the family (and considering they took away JoAnn and Michaels has almost no fabric) I decided to get creative and find fabric elsewhere.  

TJMaxx sheets for the win! Turns out you can sew 6 pairs of PJ pants out of one set of king-size sheets.  Who knew?  They turned out so cute. 

The fabric was soft and crisp, but unfortunately faded really quickly after being washed.  If I do this again, I'm going to look for 100% cotton (not polyester). 

For Christmas, I also wanted to sew up aprons for my Mom and Mother-in-law. I had seen this cute apron pattern from Dana Made It floating around and was excited to give it a try. 

She claims you can make an apron in an hour.  Maybe it's because I was hustling at midnight, but an hour would have been amazing.  It took me close to 3 1/2 hours to make these two. 

But they turned out super cute!

They look a little big on my models, but they were a perfect fit for their recipients.
