Starting with an idea can be a challenging path to take because you don’t always find the *perfect* supplies to compliment the inspiration. This dress started with an idea or a… View Post

These Carolyn Pajamas are now almost a year old. I These Carolyn Pajamas are now almost a year old. I've slept in them countless times and they still look incredible. As the nights gets warmer these pajamas get worn even more because they are so light. 

I realized I never honored them with a photo of them being worn. They are cute laying flat on the ground, but way cuter when worn. 

The pattern is the popular #carolynpajamas  by @closetcorepatterns. The fabric is a @moodfabrics cotton lawn and the piping is pink and white seersucker.

I still need to stitch it to a firm foundation and frame it, but I can't take it off until the second design is finished. (Swipe) It is impossible to capture the way it reflects light in a picture. It is very sparkly and colorful. This design and the colors bring me joy. 

The beads and sequins are purchased from a mix of @joann_stores, @amazon, and @ebay. I will eventually write a full summary on my blog and get exact links if I can.
