Girls Pyjama bottoms
Drafted by getting a rough idea for the template from the internet, folding over the top to create a tunnel for the elastic to be added. Fabric was polycotton left over from another project, and elastic was taken out of an old pair of small pyjama bottoms with a little fabric added to extend the size of the band. So a free make.
Cheshire Cat outfit for World Book Day
I drew around a sleepsuit and added a hood and seam allowance. Before sewing up the back seam I added a tail and caught it in the seam. Instead of the usual sleepsuit press studs I inserted a zip for easy use.
