PJs for PJ

February 3, 2011 By crafterhours 12 Comments

Even in our sleep we’re big Virginia Tech fans.  I thought PJ needed some pjs to reflect that.

The shirt is made from an old shirt of mine that I cut up and repurposed.  I love that I didn’t have to hem the sleeves or bottom hem, and I was able to cut off the neck binding and reattach it too.  Score.  I like kids’ pjs to be fitted, so I didn’t allow any ease in the side seams.

My friend Kyra found a remnant of Virginia Tech fabric and knew I had to have it (she was right).  There was just enough to eek out a pair of 2T Big Butt Baby Pants from Rae.  I added about 3 inches to the length.  I’m pretty sure that 2T size would fit a skinny 4 year old if you just keep adding to the length.  Especially once you’re done with the cloth diapers that produce the aforementioned “big butt”.

I used my Silhouette to cut out white flocked heat transfer material and ironed that sucker on.  P loves to “pet” the velvety texture :)

Flocked heat transfer tip:  Wait for the transfer to cool completely before very carefully peeling off the clear transfer vinyl.  Otherwise the flocked part will probably lift up too.  That’s bad.

As I was making these I realized that they would be pretty awesome baby gifts.  I could even do it in different fabric for all the misguided, deprived non-Virginia Tech fans.

    Glad you were able to use the material. I will have to show Ken this. He gave me a hard time about going into Joann’s for one thing and coming out with 3 totally different things. What made it worse was that one was a school print that should not have even been allowed to enter our house. Sigh! Cute pjs and PJ is adorable!

    I think I will have to break down and make some of those pants. They’re too adorable. In some OU Sooners print instead of course!

    PJ looks adorable in her new PJs. Love the little curls in the back of her hair. My kids always loved to feel the letters on their shirts too.

    I love the “Sleepy Hokie” shirt. I just might have to make a pj set like that for my nephew…Although, I don’t think you’ll like it…It’ll say “Sleepy Nole” on it instead. :)

    How did the vinyl hold up? I’m thinking about buying some to make a shirt, but wondered what your review was. Thanks!
