The night before the first day of school can be exciting and stressful for many kids starting a new school year and getting back into a routine. That’s why I focused on making New Horizons 11th Hour Gear (aptly named) for my youngest daughter instead of the first-day-of-school outfits I usually fret over for weeks.
And what do you know? She absolutely loves them.
She went to bed the night before school happy and content in a set of mama made pjs in her choice of colors and style. She asked for joggers with pockets and a simple short sleeved shirt to match. I was happy to oblige.
The 11th Hour gear is a complete set of PJ/Loungwear. Featuring joggers, straight leg pants, and shorts all with pockets, a knit elastic waistband and optional drawstring. The straight leg pants and shorts can also be made in woven fabrics.
The shirt is a slim fit silhouette with optional front hidden pocket. Also includes long sleeve, short sleeve, and muscle tee options. A full 3 complete patterns in one! And it comes in a huge range of sizes! No serger required! No special tools needed.
This is a confident beginner to intermediate level pattern.
This pattern is available in sizes 3-6M to 16.
The pockets were perfect for little hands. I picked a colorful cotton lycra from Fabric.com and she smiled with delight when I pulled it out of the mailer.
Suggested fabrics are cotton lycra, cotton spandex, French terry cotton jersey, flannel, fleece, or sweatshirt fleece. Use rub knit for the cuffs.
She is already asking for another set of pjs. What could be a better compliment?
