Sewing: Appliqued Pajama Bag and Pajamas

For a recent birthday gift, I sewed up this envelope-style pajama bag with an appliqued monogram, and a set of pajamas to go in it! I thought of this because I've had pajama bags on the brain for a while now. The boys have at least two pairs of pajamas to wear each week, so the pairs get worn more than once. In between wearings they are just tossed willy-nilly on the bed. Pretty!

I added some red piping, too.

Envelope opening on the back!

The applique.

Here are a pair of pirate pajamas, in flannel.

With a drawstring elastic waist. Tutorial for that here

And all finished! With the pajamas folded inside, this makes a little pillow and keep the pajamas neatly on the bed until the next bedtime!

These are relatively easy to sew up and make awesome gifts, and I'll have a tutorial up soon to share! I'm going to make the boys each one for Christmas, altho they won't need new pajamas until the Rapture.
