It’s bloody cold here at the moment.
And that’s not just me saying that, a radio announcer said that exact quote last week.
So I figured that the first project from Tilly and the Buttons – Love at First Stitch would be the Margot Pajamas.
I wanted them to be warm so I stopped by the local grocery store and picked up some flannelette sheets (which were on special – $10 reduced from $25!)
Tracing the pattern onto baking paper was the hardest part. I tried 3 different types of tape and about 5 different pens before I found a combination that vaguely worked. Even then they look a bit mangled.
Cutting out using Tillys instructions was almost easy!
Considering that’s the part which has tripped my up in my sewing adventures before that’s a win!
Then I diligently set about to sewing the pieces together. Even using the zigzag stitch to finish the edges which I’d never done before.
Once I’d sewn the legs together I looked at the instructions for the crotch and realised I’d sewn the two fronts together and the two backs together.
I had to unpick and start again.
But I won’t be making that mistake again!!!!
After that they went off without a hitch.
Ta-da!!! Pajamas!!!!
polka-dots & sparkles 
Wow, Well done you! They look great, look warm and were a bargain price as well. Xx
How brilliant you are. Those are fantastic and fit you well!
Suuuuuper snuggly looking. Clever to use sheets!
That books isn’t out here until, like, October.
HOW WILL I LIVE? (Aside from having little time to sew, of course.)
Keep up the great work!
I don’t understand how I can get something in Australia before the US. That never happens.
And it wasn’t clever – just lazy. The supermarket was much much closer than any fabric shop.
Oh wow, this is so clever! I would have never thought to make my own fleecy pyjama pants. I always just end up at Primark for yet another pair!

LUV those pj pants! And yes, you’re quite clever to think of using fleece sheets 🙂 ❤ ❤
