Betty Boop Pajama Pants

I have two pairs of Betty Boop pajama pants. So when I was given some Betty Boop fabric, I knew I had to make Hadlee some pajama pants. Plus what else are you going to do with Betty Boop fabric? I mean its not exactly a classy fabric choice for a dress or something.

Anyways. I used Simplicity 9184, which was made in 1970. I made a couple of alterations, because it isn't actually a pajama pattern. The legs on mine are both longer and wider. Longer because Miss Hadlee is a tall little girl, and wider because who wants tight pajama pants? I think they turned out pretty cute, and the hem is gigantic, so if her mom wants to re-hem them later she can probably wear them for years.

The shirt is actually maybe a dress? I can't tell, because it is to short to be a dress and to long to be a shirt. Maybe its a tunic for over leggings? (I didn't make the shirt, its from a Wittlebee box I once got) But I thought it was a better match for showing off the pajamas than the Doc McStuffins shirt she was originally wearing.

Comfy Joey Wool Sling Review and Giveaway

Did you enter to win the $25 Comfy Joey voucher and lose? Well, GREAT NEWS! Comfy Joey is amazingly generous and I am able to offer not one, but TWO more vouchers! Along with the Dolly Sling, I was also given a Newborn Wool Sling . I was super excited when I got the sling in the mail. I love baby-wearing , and trying out new carriers is always fun. The Newborn Wool Slings are for use between birth and 25lbs. Miss Baby is 25 lbs. so she is right at the top of the weight limit (they are safe up to 30 lbs. 25lbs. is for comfort). It is a handwash in cold water item and should be air dried. This sling is so cozy and cuddly that I have not gotten a chance to use it very much, because we have had a quite warm summer. It is a grey, tan, and cream houndstooth with silver rings, which means it matches everything you could possibly want to wear it with. The sling is very well made, and the rails are pretty easy to adjust. ...

Giveaway closed! Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I really appreciate it! I have excellent news! Today is Manipulatives Monday, and Mother Goose Time is giving away a great prize! One lucky winner will receive TWO bags of manipulatives! Mother Goose Time will chose the prizes, but I assure you, whatever they send will be a lot of fun for your children! Manipulatives are a big hit in our house. Every month we get two new bags of manipulatives, and every month Little Guy asks if he can play with them before the month starts. The answer is always no, but he tries every month anyways. During the month we use them for the assigned activities but after we are done with the curriculum, I let him add them to his toy collection. One thing that is in almost every box is a set of counters. These are often in the shape of animals, which are Little Guy's favorites. They are used for a variety of activities, and are alwa...
