Pajama eaters

A few months ago, I found a pattern online for Pajama monsters. I filed it away in the back of my head and thought - Yes! This will be a gift for the kids in the family.
As Christmas grew closer, the thought of making monsters seemed less appealing to me. But I still thought it was a cute idea.

As I browsed Old Navy's website, I saw some adorable pajamas. (on sale, of course!) And then it struck me - I'll make 'monsters' to match the pajamas! Once the pj's were delivered, I started scribbling some pattern ideas.

I was able to alter the pattern from SewFearless enough to make a Polar Bear pillow and an Owl pillow. And stuffed inside their bellies - the pajamas!



I made these pillows with soft fleece. But I do think next time I should use those soft beads rather than stuffing to fill the pillow to make them even squishier.
