I just can't help myself.

I was walking around the fabric store the other day because I need to make a baby shower gift.  As I walked through one of the quilting aisles, my eyes fell upon this:

Isn't it lovely?  Yes, it's quilting fabric but I thought it would make some nice pajamas.



Then, this past weekend, I went to a model train show in San Diego with my husband and low and behold, a small fabric company was there selling fabric.  How could I resist? Since I was making pj's for myself, I thought my husband and son would like some, too.  Father/son matching pj's?  Whaddya think?

Of course, making pj's are a quick and easy sewing fix and just something to quickly whip up in between projects. But they're so fun to sew and I can use all the great quilting fabrics that shouldn't be used for apparel sewing. 

In other news, as I mentioned above, I need to do some sewing for the baby shower of a co-worker.  I have the fabric and pattern picked out and I will post those when I get them.  I had been fairly unhappy with the fabrics I found at Joann's for this project because it was all so - ordinary.  Nothing fun or cute really stuck out.  So, I went online and found some really cute Robert Kaufman fabric at Fabric.com.  I can't wait to see it.  It really should make a darling outfit for a baby boy.

Until then, folks, have fun sewing!
