Sewing Satisfaction

It is so fun to sew, and especially when it is really appreciated!!! I went to work on some jammies at least a month ago for Sam and Sarah. Then as time passed, I decided I could at least get them done for Sarah's birthday. Well, I did it! And not only did I get them done, but I added a special ingredient -- glow in the dark paint! That made these extra fun and I'm not sure the next jammies I do will ever be quite as exciting! I am just so glad they loved them.


Sam had glow in the dark jammies before and when I asked Sarah what kind of pajamas she wanted, she said glow in the dark! And Diego is her favorite character ever so I was super happy when I found this Diego and Dora fabric and it wasn't ugly like the other Diego fabric I'd found. When I asked Sam if he would rather Pooh and Friends jammies or dinosaurs, he said... "dinosaurs, as long as there's a T Rex on them." So here they are. The T Rexes are all outlined in glow in the dark paint on the pants and on the shirt applique, and the word Diego is outlined on Sarah's pants and shirt. I also did all the dinosaur eyes with the paint, and the star's eyes on Sarah's pants. These were really fun to do and I got so excited about them! The very best part of all is talking to these two on the phone and hearing Sarah say when it is dark, she can just look at the light on them and not be scared! And Sam said I was "the best tagmaker in the world" (I put flag tags in the pants because Sam loves flags and Sarah wants to be just like Sam!) and Sarah said I was "the best Nannies in the world." (All the kids call me "Nannies".) I think those are two of the best compliments I've ever gotten!

That's the cutest dino fabric ever, too. That last picture of Sarah makes me laugh out loud every time!
Maybe they'll use them for their next 'Synchronized Sleeping'(from Jo's blog).
