Louisa's birthday is coming up, and my last chance today to organise and wrap presents. Apart from some Belville lego, it's all books (including a lockable diary), so it doesn't look all that exciting. So I've quickly sewn some PJs to add to her presents.

The applique is very rough here. I disobeyed my own 'always use stabiliser rule', but as they're pajamas and not to be seen in public, I'm not too worried. I know she'll love the unicorn fabric.

Anyway, off now to sew some teddy bear outfits for her teddy bear makeover party!

Hello Kitty pjs

When I decided to make Louisa some pajamas, I put a lot of thought into the details: buttons on the back, as she's a tummy sleeper; short sleeves so she's warm but not too warm; elastic around the legs so they don't ride up her legs, etc. But according to Louisa I left out the one most important detail - they don't have fairies on them! So it took a fair bit of convincing, bribery and postive peer group pressure courtesy of the girls next door to get her to wear them, but finally she did and now is happy to wear them to bed. Phew.
She did get her fairy fix this morning when we went to see The Fairies, but no photography allowed so this is all I can show you!A fan-fairy-tastic time was had by all. Louisa was very excited the whole way through and both she and Lizzie loved dancing and singing along with them. A great show!

And here's a picture I have to included just because Lizzie's grin is just too cute:
