\"bear-jammies1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you so much, everyone, for all the kind comments and emails! K is much better, though the coughing is still off and on. I’m still pretty loopy as well, but we’ve finally had one cough-free night which felt like manna from heaven. My little brother came to visit from Los Angeles this past weekend, which also helped, because he and K adore each other. There’s something about extra attention and affection that does a soul good, I think.<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can imagine, K spent a lot of time in her pajamas last week. For a mini fashionista, her nightwear selection is pretty pitiful. She favors ratty, over-sized tees from various school events with corporate logos plastered all over the back. She quickly ran out of her t-shirt supply, and we agreed that it was high time I made her some jammies.<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are my test jammies using patterns from this book<\/a> that I think may be my absolute favorite. The patterns are so versatile! Anyway, K requested a bear on her pajama top, so I cut one out using the now ubiquitous grey polka dot flannel, thought it was too small, cut out a bigger one, and K said “I want both!” She wants me to add eyes and a mouth to them, but we are still in negotiations (“But red eyes would make them look scary, honey,” I keep telling her…).<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The creamy white fabric feels like a ponte knit – it’s thicker, less stretchy, and sort of luxe. The grey and white stripey is jersey knit that I got just before I began my fabric fast three months ago, and I plan on making a top for myself with it so I only used a tiny portion for the neckband and sleeve\/leg cuffs.<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t that castle great? It was a birthday present from a friend, and her very<\/em> patient uncle helped her assemble it. It comes with a little paint set, but of course, I love it in its pure white form. So pretty.<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The fit and comfort level of the pajamas are excellent, and these got K’s seal of approval, so I’ll be making more for sure. Wouldn’t a fox one be so darling? Or one with little houses, like the amazing dress<\/a> Lucinda made?<\/p>\n

\"bear-jammies7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I really hope she’s truly on the mend this time. It’s been a rough couple of weeks, and I for one am ready for some sleep. Maybe I ought to make some jammies for myself.<\/p>\n
