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 ..... 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.
Those are so cute! What an awesome gift :) it'd be so fun to take to a slumber party!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You did a fanTASTIC job! Look how you rocked changing the zipper mouth?! Good work! I bought the same pattern and transformed it for Christmas presents for my boys. I made mine into a monkey, frog & ninja. Your owl and polar bear are adorable - I LOVE them!! I'm up to my eyeballs right now making PJ eaters for my etsy shop and am working on an owl variation, too.
