Did you know that in the United States, kids pajamas are required to be made of fire repellent fabric? This was never a problem when they were little because there were plenty of cute and cuddly pajamas readily available. Now that Wally is bigger, I have been looking and looking and finding nothing but yuck in the stores. The fabric is just this HORRIBLE polyester slick stuff or nice Hannah Andersen's that cost about $40 a pair. Neither option was going to fly with me, so I had to break out the sewing machine and break the fire retardant laws! And so I present, new jammies:
Fritz' smile is a thin disguise... He is actually fit to be tied about the pajama situation. He wants some too and has thrown a jealous fit about them most nights since their appearance. His drawer is bursting with hand me downs, so I hesitate to make more.
Joann's sale $2.49 a yard (didn't need entire yard) flannel plus Old Navy sale t-shirts $3.19 = $6 jammies. Pretty good deal, I think! Now let's pray we never have a fire!
We need to do the whole overnight thing again only draw it out over a couple of days! I just need to settle down with you and actually sew a few things. Break the ice, so to speak.
