I mad the pj pants lickety split. And then I got a couple of plain white t-shirts and used my Silhouette machine to create a pattern for appliques for the tops.
I didn't even bother trying to cut the fabric with my Silhouette. I need a new knife before I try anything crazy like that (hear that Santa? A new knife for my Silhouette machine would be the perfect gift!)
Then I just used my templates to cut the shapes from my fabric.
Then I also cut some Silhouette heat transfer fabric interfacing so that it would stick to my T-shirts while I was trying to sew it on. It was a bit of extra work but it worked like a charm.
I'm going to add a mug with some hot chocolate mix in it to make this gift a bit more kid friendly (They're also getting a proper full on toy and a book from me too, this is just the handmade portion of their gift. I can't have you thinking I'm the weird auntie in the family).
I love how soft and fluffy this fabric got after I washed it. It kept is grainline well and sewed easily. Check out Wholeport's flanelette section for more great prints.

I love these! They came out great. I was hoping to make some this year for gifts, but looks like it'll have to wait until next year. :) I love your idea of how you did the matching shirts -- so much simpler than sewing a second item, but just as cute!
such pretty fabric and adorable set of pj's
