I had the honor of testing another Blank Slate Pattern recently– this time, a kids’ pattern!
The Snuggle PJs pattern was just released on Tuesday, and I made a set for V!

The pajama top is a pattern for knit fabrics, and has this cool envelope neckline for easy dressing, and there are short-sleeve and long-sleeve options!

The pants pattern is for woven fabrics. These pajammies (yes. it’s a word. :)) that I’m showing off here are more of a spring set– short sleeves and a lightweight quilt cotton for the pants. But can you imagine snuggly flannel pants with a cozy long-sleeve top?!

Between the binding on the shirt neckline and the potential for contrast cuffs and waistband on the pants, there are endless opportunities for color combinations! I actually made some “faux piping” (just a simple narrow fold of fabric) and inserted it between the pant leg and cuff to pull the pants and shirt together for this set. I also decreased the rise quite a bit to fit V where she wanted the pants to lay on her waist.

This was an incredibly quick sew, and it’s such a cute and satisfying result!! I already have more in the works– both for V and for B. The pattern comes in sizes 3 months to 12 years! Make sure you check the size chart, because V is wearing a size 6 even though her RTW size is more often a 7. B will also be sporting (in the future) a set that is a couple sizes smaller than his RTW size.

Of course, Duck had to be involved in the photoshoot– Duck is V’s closest companion!

Check out the pattern at Blank Slate, and keep an eye out here for future snuggly PJ incarnations!
