I know, it’s not PJ’s… I could make PJ’s all week, but… I’m in love with this one!
I love this pattern for the Beachy Boatneck by Blank Slate Patterns. I got it in a bundle of beachy patterns from Pattern Anthology. I was moving right along. The pattern was super easy to put together! Nice and quick. I was so excited about my details, too.
Like, look how pretty the neck looks. I debated about topstitching. I didn’t want to do the double stitch, so I ended up with a slight zigzag to keep the stretch.
I even got most of the stripes to line up!
I used my new ‘serger like’ stitch I found to finish all the edges.
I added a tag. My son ALWAYS asks, ‘Which way is front?’ And I ALWAYS say, ‘Where’s the tag?’ So, I need to remember to add tags to the clothing that I make as well!
And then we tried it on….
And tried it on…
And tried again…
Note to self- Always try on before adding finishing details!
My son has always had a big head. It was even a little issue during childbirth, but I won’t go into that story here. His day care teacher LOVED it and said in her country large heads are a sign of brilliance! In my world, it doesn’t fit in shirts I make for him! Remember, we had a little trouble with the Popsicle PJ’s, too.
I don’t know what I did! The stretch is all going in the right direction. I used a stretch stitch to sew the neckline… I guess I need to modify the neck a little next time. I haven’t decided if I’ll try to fix this one or not. I took out the topstitching, but it didn’t help…
Any ideas?
