macqueen for the koda bear

I am just getting around to making pajama pants for Koda Bear.  They were part of what was supposed to be done for Christmas that did not happen.  But the boy did not seem to mind waiting.

I used a pattern from a Japanese kids pattern book.  I do not know if I did not read the pattern close enough or not but I was very glad that I have put together pajama pants before and have been asked to modify pajama pants as well.  What I read and what I put together did not seem to match.

But the end product?  Koda Bear liked very much.  He did not wish a picture taken or to take them off.  So this wiggly bottom is of him hiding.

I bought a bit of extra fabric to make Koda Bear a pillowcase but he wanted a blankey.  That was an easy sew. 

But the yardage given by the pattern was so off that I actually have enough extra fabric that I am making him another pair of pajama pants.  I am making the back pockets a little bit bigger and I am cutting extra fabric for the waistband from the beginning instead of realizing half way through that I needed to cut it.  After the last year's pajamas, I am using elastic instead of draw string.  It is working well.  He likes matching his Grandpa. 

Maybe next year they will both have Darth Vader pajamas.
