Ottobre 01/2010-19 & 13

I'm going to keep it quick today, partly because PJs aren't very complicated, but also because my truck is supposed to come today, and I have a zillion things to do to get ready. But my stuff is coming!!!

So, on to the sewing. Myra is still in dire need of PJs, so here is another set, modified from patterns in the 01/2010 Ottobre.

The pants are the same pattern I used last time, but the top is a long sleeved version of tunic #19.

As you can see, it has a nice A-line shape, and otherwise is very simple. The original had short sleeves, so I lengthened them by using the total length of another set in sleeve in her size and just extending the seams to that length. It worked fine for this.

I also topstitched down the facings around the neckline and front edges. I think this is a more PJ sort of look and it keeps the facings from flopping around. As drafted, the facings for this tunic are quite narrow. Also, how cute are those ducky buttons?? They cost more than the fabric, but they are so adorably perfect, I had to get them.

The most important thing is that she loves them!
