announcing the holiday pajama sewing contest
This year, we’re excited to host a holiday pajama sewing contest where you can craft Oliver + S pajamas for your family and stand a chance to win one of three amazing prizes. For full details, scroll down to check everything out.
To get those creative juices flowing, we’ve put together some inspiring ideas to help you along. Don't forget, Liesl’s Pajama Pinterest Board is an excellent resource for even more examples!
First off, let's talk about Shea and her annual Henderson cousin Christmas pajama project. This tradition has been going strong for six years, and it's truly heartwarming to learn more about her Christmas pajama legacy. Be sure to also check out her Christmas dress tradition while you're at it.
Take a look at this incredible image of the Bedtime Story Pajama pants, a quick and easy kimono-style pattern that works beautifully with both woven and knit fabrics. It’s one of the top ten best-selling Oliver + S patterns ever! You can find similar examples here, here, and here.
Next up, we have the Sleepover Pajamas pattern, perfect for both boys and girls, especially with the adorable ruffles for the girls! This pattern ranks as number nine in our list of top ten best-sellers.
Check out these stunning Sleepover Pajamas for siblings. They’re just one example of the countless ways you can bring these designs to life.
There are also several other patterns that can be easily adapted into pajamas. For instance, you can transform the School Bus T-shirt and Playtime Leggings (ranked sixth in our top ten best-sellers) into cozy pajamas by adding cuffs. Alternatively, consider the Field Trip Raglan T-Shirt and Lullaby Layette Pants. With any leftover fabric scraps, you can create a matching pajama storage bag using the Drawstring Bag pattern from the Little Things to Sew book. This not only serves as a gift bag but also as a practical storage solution.
For knit pajamas, the Hopscotch Top paired with the Nature Walk Pants is a fantastic choice. You can add a lettuce hem to the pants for a touch of flair—either with a serger or a sewing machine. Additionally, the Hopscotch Dress could easily become a stylish knit nightgown.
