Pajamas, etc...

Today, I'll show off a couple pajama patterns. Personally, I love making pjs. We'll start with patterns for kids: This is the Jack and Jill Jammies pattern by Indygo Junction. Sizing: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. This pattern is for boys and girls, and the girls can get ruffles.


How about the The Little Jammies pattern by Favorite Things. Sizes: Toddlers 1-4, Children 5-12. Pattern includes a top with long or short sleeves, a camisole, and low-rise pants w/back elastic and drawstring. Pants are in three lengths: boxer, cropped or full length.

The Modern House Coat pattern by Indygo Junction. Sizes: XS/S, M/L, XL/2XL.

Shop Talk - Go Green!

It seems the trend this year is to eliminate the use of paper and plastic shopping bags. There are many different sizes and shapes of shopping bags available. I guess the different sizes all depend on what you are purchasing. Come check out the different shopping bags at The Pattern Loft:

Eco Market Tote pattern by Favorite Things. This tote is 15” x 18” x 4.5”.

Tukaway Tote pattern by Mckenna Linn. This tote is 20” x 22” and can be folded into it’s own little pocket.

Betty Shopper pattern by Amy Butler. This bag pattern comes in two sizes: Large - 15" across top and 28" across bottom (width) x 14 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" deep. Small - 12 1/2" wide across the top and 25" across bottom(width) x 14 1/2" tall x 3 1/2" deep.
