Handmade Gifts for Boys: not so Christmasy jammies
If you know me in real life, you probably know that I love to dress my kids seasonally. Those My First Thanksgiving outfits? Love them. Valentine’s Day T-shirts? Can’t get enough. Wear green on St. Patrick’s Day? Absolutely. I also love making my boys Christmas jammies. But this year, I decided to go un-traditional and just make…. regular everyday cute-as-can-be jammies.
The Fabric Fairy graciously offered us some fabric for our Handmade Gifts for Boys series, and I fell in love with her knit fabrics. I had such a hard time choosing, because the designs were all fantastic. I finally settled on these two prints, and when they arrived I knew I had made the right choice.
The feel of these fabrics is amazing. I totally wish these jammies were my size, because they feel so cozy!
The pattern is the Lil’ Long Johns from Peek-a-boo Patterns [affiliate link], and oh my word is it super adorable. I’ve made them before in Christmas colors, and seriously, I really think these cannot get any cuter. I had only made them in baby/toddler sizes before, so this time I tried them out on my four-year-old, and yep, still adorable. Also, he didn’t want to take them off.
Even though the pajamas aren’t matching or coordinating colors, since they’re the same pattern, they have that great Christmas morning feel to them. Can we say Christmas card? After taking these pictures, I’m kicking myself for not having time to sew them for all the boys yet. [but really, can we just pause for a moment and thank the baby for napping well so that I could even sew these??]
Friends, what is better than brothers in sorta matchy jammies? Nothing, I tell you.
Those PJ’s are adorable! My son would love some in that pirate fabric from Fabric Fairy.
Alex and Anna’s winter pjs.
Mmmmmm… they look delicious! Too cute!
So cute! I would make matching pjs for the boys, of course.
Oh some little long johns for my toddler for sure!
I’d make some pj’s for my 2 girls and little boy to come in February!
I would love to make my girls the Alex & Anna Winter PJs.
I would love to try the Sweet Dreams pj pattern.
I have a few of the jammies patterns, but not the Little Long John’s. Would love to try it out!
Adorable!!! I’ve been eyeing this pattern for a while now – might just have to cave and get it!
Pjs for my toddler in Pirate fabric.
I would love to win! I’m making lots of pajamas at my house these days and all three of my kiddos are loving them!!
I LOVE matching pjs. It used to be just for Christmas, but now it’s nearly an all winter thing :-)
I would make some pjs for my daughter and godson. Something with stripes!
jammies for my 2 year old … he’s growing into the next size faster than his brother is growing out of them!
I would love to make ruffle-bottomed nighties for my two little nieces!
I’d love to make the lil’ long johns for my girl!
I’d start with Sweet Dreams PJs for my kids.
I’d make some new Jammie’s for one if my little guys. They could all use some!
Love them!

Love!!!!!! My boys are in need of new winter pj’s for our cold WI weather!
Yay! I hope I win! Thank you! Your jammies and babies are awesome!
Thank you! Adorable!
I want to make my little boy some Christmas jammies!
Just finished seven pair of sweet dreams. Would love to make a few nightgowns
Fabric for boys is the hardest! Very nice. And Jammie’s at the holidays are mandatory, I think! :)
Oh my gosh, the Lil’ Long Johns are so cute! I’d love to make those and the Winter PJs for my nephew :)
I would make the long johns, altering the pattern to fit my bigger boy. :) I’m planning to make us all flannel Pj pants for Christmas Eve. That’s our PJ tradition. Each Christmas eve, we all open ONE gift–new Christmas morning pajamas. (That way I have cute jammies on all of us and I don’t have to worry about Hubbs either in his underpants or already dressed when the rest of us are in jammies for Christmas morning pictures…)
I love the long johns pattern, but i also love the night gowns. I would make the long johns for all three of my big kids (5, 3, and 1.5) and a cozy little gown for my little lady on the way.
Sweet Dreams Pjs for my baby girl and nieces :)
I’ve been wanting to try jammies for a while. This would totally be the push toward it that I need.
I would love to make the Sweet dreams pattern. Love it!
These are so cute. I would love to make the gown and or Pj set for my great niece Chloe

I’d be cheesy and make my boys matching pajamas! haha
I’d do matching jammies/nightgown for my boys & girl! Yours are super cute.
