Counting Sheep!

I ordered these super cute pajamas during ARB Blanks' spring PJs preorder, and when they arrived I then had to decide what to put on them. About that same time I2S had released some cute "sleepy" animal designs. I loved the lamb for Annaliese, and sweetly asked my boss if she would create a boy version (less swirly wool, no bow, no eyelashes) for Dashiell,and she did! Aren't these adorable?

I also ordered a pair of doll sized PJs for Annaliese's American Girl doll. I took the 4x4 size of the design, reduced it (maybe to 75%?), increased pull compensation to widen the satin stitches back up, and stitched away. Turned out so cute, I love Embird!

Dashiell has been rather miffed every time Annaliese gets a matching doll clothing item and he doesn't get something for his BuildABear, so this time I found a blue onesie in my stash and made something for him. He was SO excited and appreciative :) I chopped it off and used steam-a-seam to "hem" it. Ha!

Here they are, all comfy and ready for bed ;)

Sweet Matching PJs

Oh boy, do I love how these turned out!!

These PJs are from the ARB Blanks Valentine's Preorder. They are SO SOFT. I love the quality.
I decided to use one of the lovely heart designs from the December set of designs from The Applique Club. And I finally used this remix zig zag fabric that I ordered last fall. Yay!
I used the 6x10 size on Annaliese's PJs:

and the 4x4 size on Anna's PJs:

I hadn't told Annaliese that I ordered these for her, so they were a complete surprise when she unwrapped them Christmas morning. She put them on, then developed a headache and slight fever, and ended up taking a nap Christmas afternoon :(
I did get a quick picture of them together on my phone, but she's not quite as perky as usual :)

Now I'm anxious for the Spring PJs to arrive! I ordered a set of blue for Dashiell and lavender Annaliese/Anna. I need to start brainstorming design ideas now so I'm ready to go when they arrive.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Trammels!

I love these PJs from ARB Blanks! I ended up not doing the Christmas preorder. Cristy surprised me with a pair for Annaliese in a box of blanks goodies, so I waited for Dashiell's red Valentine's PJs to arrive to make them a matching set. We picked a snowman so it would be seasonably appropriate for a couple months (because you know, we get so much snow here in FL, ha!) Annaliese picked the fabrics and wanted the designs to be identical. We use I2S's Snowman, and added their monograms with Natural Circle.

I guess I didn't get a close up picture of Dashiell's shirt, just Annaliese's. The only difference is we left off the pink cheeks on his, and it has his initials instead.
