Stuffed Animal Pajamas

 As I have mentioned before

I work at a wonderful bookstore called

Deseret Book

One day, a fellow employee

Susan Barker

showed me the

pajama bottoms

she had made for some of the

stuffed animals we sell

at the store.

I loved them!

And knew I  had to make them, too!

So, I borrowed the PJ pattern

that Susan had sketched,

pulled out some fabric scraps

and began sewing away.

Kami the Kangaroo

Austin the Alligator

and Kayla the Koala

are all decked out and

 ready for Christmas morning.

I especially loved Susan's idea

of making matching PJ's

for each of the grand children to wear

as they carry their stuffed animal.

Susan's pattern even allowed

special accommodations

for things like

for an alligators tail.

Too cute!



 Kami the Kangaroo

needed something to highlight her pouch,

 so she is stuffed with a

Santa Pez

and candy.

 I left the tags naming each stuffed animal

for a few special reasons.

Our grand daughter Kayla

will receive

Kayla the Koala

and with each toy purchased

100% of the proceeds 

 go to

Chapters of Hope

a Deseret Book Initiative that

has already sent

50,000 much needed books

to children

around the world.

*Thank you Susan for sharing your pattern and ideas!

Tomorrow I will offer

a small tutorial

showing how easy it

is to make PJ's for

a stuffed animal.
