No pajama work tomorrow. I forgot that I promised to make skirts for the shepherd girls in the Christmas play, which is next weekend. I got the fabric from the Sunday School director today, and measured all the girls. Since they're all different sizes (6 girls, ranging from a 24" waist to a 31" waist), and I don't want to worry about who has which skirt, I'm going to do drawstring waistbands.
I have to confess to being a little gratified that at least one of the girls was excited I was making the skirts (I'm going to try for some kind of scarf/collar/shawl thingy, too), because she liked Sarah & Lauren's Halloween costumes so much.
The pajama pattern I want to make isn't on sale until next weekend anyway, and I'll hopefully be able to find some fabric I really like then, too. I don't need to have the pajamas for my nieces & nephews done until New Year's, since that's when we usually get together, so that's easier. I don't know if I'll do the tops and bottoms for all four of them. Last year, I made them pajama pants, got a t-shirt in a co-ordinating color, and made a pocket out of the pants fabric. This year, I might totally lose my mind and cut the letters of their names out of fabric and appliqué them onto shirts (not t-shirts, though--they keep their house really chilly). A lot of it will depend on what I find next week and how much it costs.
