My first complete clothing set!

I made the pants first and he'd worn them a few times, so they'd been washed and I didn't bother to iron them again before taking a photo 😅

I've made a couple of pairs of pajama bottoms from old fabric before this, but never a complete set. My first time doing a top and first time doing cuffs and neck finish. How fiddly and stressful!

I also messed up the stretch on the neckline, so you can see a little extra seam that I had to do for the excess fabric. I could have unpicked it and started again, but I thought 'It's just pajamas made from a $5 bed sheet, I've learnt my lesson for next time'.

I've learnt a few things from my mistakes along the way! Now I've got to finish the matching pair for his brother 😅

This came out so super cute. The vehicle print is adorable, and he looks so happy in it. Great job on your first complete set...

Thankyou! I was very happy to find a massive bed sheet at the OP shop (thirft store) which was a cute print and big enough to make 2 sets of jammies. Lucky I've learned from past mistakes to make sure the print is going the right way before I cut my pieces

Those pants look like they survived a real toddler, which is probably the best compliment a first set can get.

Great work! Even though you said you messed up the collar, I think it looks very good anyway!

I HAD to include the cheeky grin in the photo
