The Norah Pajamas: for the Mouse House Creations Norah Tour

I am so excited to be a part of the Norah Dress Pattern Tour - the first pattern tour for Mouse House Creations.  In looking at the pattern, I wanted to do something different.  I have already sewn up the Norah twice because I LOVE it (you can read my detailed review of the pattern HERE).  Baby girl already has a long sleeve woven top version and a long sleeve knit dress hanging in her closet (and believe me, they get worn as quickly as I can get them clean)... aren't they cute!

So, I decided that this time I would make the Norah to give away.  And since I sew pajamas as gifts for Christmas, I decided that there needed to be Norah Pajamas!

(*baby girl literally had these on for 5 minutes for the pictures - I didn't want anything to happen to them before I shipped them off to a special birthday girl in the family.)

This pattern is so versatile that you can do absolutely anything with it!!!  For these pajamas, I pulled some adorable flannel from my stash.  I love the look of the contrasting sleeve and collar, and I thought that would work well for the pajamas.

In lieu of lining the top, I made a facing for the back opening and then added bias strip ties for the closure.  (The flannel bias tape is a bit thick, so I think when I make more of these, I will use a satin ribbon or cotton bias tape for the ties).

I went with the Top length because I thought it would look best with pants.  From my own experience, I think all toddlers in diapers NEED to wear bottoms over their diapers - so diaper covers in summer and leggings or pants in winter.  You just don't want to risk it!!!

I am beyond THRILLED with how these turned out - I momentarily thought of keeping them for myself, but I love my little niece and I hope she will love them!

If you don't own the pattern yet - GET IT NOW!!!  You will love the variety of things that you can do with this pattern.
