Sewing Traditions for Christmas….New Jammies

Sometimes coming up with new gift ideas for Christmas and Chanukah is difficult. Kids grow up, tastes change, styles change. Keeping things fresh is a challenge…but then, there is something to be said for tradition, for doing the same thing, with a little twist, every year.

I recently posted this adorable pajama sewing pattern on Facebook. Simplicity 1785 in Size 2 from the 1950’s.

Someone left this comment....”these always remind me of my mother. She made each of us a pair of new pajamas to go to bed in every Christmas Eve...made it extra special.”

New pajamas for Christmas Eve. A practical gift made into a magical tradition that created fond memories lasting much longer than the pajamas. A fabulous idea.

Happy Sewing! Keep those seams straight!
