In celebration of my completing my Master's Degree, I wanted to have a pajama party. So of course I wanted to have new schmancy pjs to host my party in! That didnt happen because I'm a slacker and was only able to complete one set of jammies, for Mint Hoagie of course! He picked out the fabric, and to town i went! He's a bit longer in the legs n torso than regular patterns, so I made it up in muslin first, figured out how to alter the pattern, and then cut it and made it again. I tried to draft a pattern for making a footie in the pajama, but in the end, I didnt put feet on these pjs. This garment also marks my first zipper insertion! Its nice and straight, and super duper for being my first zipper. The pattern is from McCall's 5956 for Halloween costumes. It's worked out pretty well in flannel instead of fake fur. Here's a list and photos of my "things" for each day, starting Wednesday and finishing up Saturday before the party. Wednesday: Footie pattern
Thursday: My first zipper!
Friday: Finished arms and leg hems
Saturday: Knit collar addition
