I usually make at least one item per person for my family for Christmas. Like always, this year I have tons of ideas. I'll have to default to barely getting one thing done, again. Looks like I'll make matching jammie pants for all the guys, Lake Poppy (Grandpa Vic), Tyler (my oldest daughter's mate), and my four grandboys. Last year was the first time I made jammies. They were red and yellow flannel Hot Wheels jammie pants. I had the fab on my shelf intended for the back of a comforter for two of the boys. I made my two daughters pink cat ones from fun flannel in my collection, too. This year I'm making myself use what's on my shelf again. I have a bolt of plaid flannnel that'll work tho I'm tempted to go and buy a fun flannel. NO. Discipline. Use what I have.
Tip: Both my girls complimented for the first time on a project I made for them. They said the jammie pants were THE most comfortable fit they've ever had. The pattern is in the booklet Sew Easy Pajama Pants by Cindy Taylor Oates. I found it at a quilt shop where I was teaching. I originally made them as a sample to teach the requested class. Don't tell my hubby or Tyler but I also made their pairs from this girls pattern. The only comment was that Tyler thought they were short in the crotch, grin. Normally, I find elastic waist pants are long in the crotch. So this year, I'll make Tyler's longer.
We are having an early Christmas this year. May you be blessed this season and bless others. Merry Christmas.
God Bless and happy creating.

I make pj bottoms for my three grandkids, too. I also paint/applique/dye a t-shirt to coordinate with the pants. It's something they look forward to every year.
