FELIZ NATAL!
Today the pajamas I made for the great series The 12 Days of Christmas hosted by two lovely ladies Suz and Laura are back home. Hope you like it!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! My name is Marta, I blog at DoGuincho and I live in Cascais – a seaside village near Lisbon – with my husband and our two daughters.
I am thrilled
to be part of this great Christmas series! Thank you so much for inviting me,
Rachel and Suz. What a great idea this is!
For me, this
time of the year is all about having my family together! My mother had 7
sisters and brothers and my father 5, so we are a big family. Some of us are
not living in Portugal so this is the perfect occasion to see all my cousins
and their families.
Since we
have dinner at my grandmother’ on Christmas Eve and my daughters always come
home (very late in the evening) already wearing their sleepwear, I decided to
make them pajamas!
(Ines and Teresa with just out of bed hairstyles!)
Though I am
not a great fan of Christmas prints, I found this lovely fabric (Holiday Frost by Jan Shade Beach for Henry
Glass & Co.) at my favorite local sewing supplies store and bought
it even before knowing what I was going to sew… Then I matched it with a polka
dot “everyday” fabric and added some details made of bright green ribbon and
vintage buttons for a real Christmas look.
As I wanted
a tuxedo like shape on the blouse neckline, I had to draft myself the pattern
for these pajamas. I absolutely love the look as it is clean and simple but has
some wonderful Christmas details. Teresa and Ines were already having fun with
the fabric stars I added at the end of the blouse ties during the photo session…
I think my daughters were really please with the result too. But they were a lot more excited about our advent calendar (it will be hanged on our living room wall as soon as I find a way of doing it…) with all its little presents and treats!
Gosto tanto destes pijamas!
