I’m super excited about this blog tour. Back in November or October Deb and I had the idea to do a blog tour of pyjama patterns from our stash around the beginning of Decemeber, but of course things happen (like prepping for Christmas and little kids getting sick a lot) so we never got around to it. We figured a Spring Break PJ tour would be perfect though and so that it is what we wound up with!
Since we were going to be working with patterns in our stash we decided it would be great to work with the two ladies who now admin the Sew Your (Pattern) Stash group on Facebook: Jaime of Made by Jaime and Meriel of Create 3.5. When we posted the call for blog tour participants we didn’t think we’d get the huge response we got. Apparently sewing up patterns from your stash is a good thing!
We have 30 bloggers participating! This thing is huge! I ♥ it! 🙂
Some of the bloggers are using actual PJ patterns, some are using regular patterns and making pyjamas from them. Most are using PDF patterns but there is at least one blogger using a paper pattern!
And yes, I’m Canadian, I write it “pyjamas”. But pajamas, jammies, pjs, nighties, or nightgowns, nightshirts or sleep shirts, they’re all welcome on this tour! I hope you’ll have fun seeing all the pj inspiration!
Last thing, we have a sew along! The theme for March in the Sew Your (Pattern) Stash group is toys. You can link up any toys or toy-inspired outfits you’ve sewn in addition to any PJ’s you’ve sewn anytime after February 1st, 2016 until the link up closes on April 3rd. More details on the link up below!
