Christmas pajama pants are probably the most common tradition, don’t you think? If you are lucky enough to have people to sew for, make them some P.J. Pants for Christmas this year! The free pattern that I used is super fast to sew so it can even be a very last minute gift.
Like many of you (I imagine) I spent a lot of time this week finishing up last minute presents. One of which was these p.j. pants for my 7 year old Cadie. These were sewn from my free P.J. Bottoms and Shorts Pattern.
I put a cute little mis-matchy bow on the front so she could put them on right. Does that mushroom ribbon go with the flannel fabric on the pants? I can’t tell, but since both are cute I know she’ll like them anyway.
For the pant cuffs I used soft fleece. They are so snuggly!
Christmas p.j.’s are one of our family traditions, as well as secret santa and a Christmas Eve trip to the beach. What else are you going to do when you have 80 degree weather but wish there was snow?
So, what have you been sewing up this week? Did you make something with one of my free sewing tutorials or patterns? I would love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sewcanshe.

Be a basketmaker! Sure, you can sew, but did you know that you can make amazing baskets too using your sewing machine, some fabric and the same materials that you use for your other projects?
Have you fallen in love with Quilt as You Go yet? It’s a fun technique for quilts, of course, but I’m having lots of fun using it for pouches and tote bags too.
I’m so excited to share with you the pattern for our first mini quilt of 2018… Flora! This beautiful little quilt was designed by the very talented Lauren of Molly & Mama…
At my daughter Chloe’s high school (can you believe my baby started high school???), the lunch lines are so long that she has been skipping lunch! She’s always starving by the time she gets home because she doesn’t want to carry a big lunch bag as well as her heavy backpack – poor girl!
Looking for free table runner patterns? I gathered up all my favorites in one place – here are free quilt patterns for table runners for fall, winter, spring and summer!
I am so in love with the beautiful look of simple patchwork quilts with lots of squares. This is the perfect way to use up fabric scraps like I did, or you can make a beautifully coordinated quilt with pre-cut 2 1/2’’ square fabric pieces that come in mini-charm packs.
I’m also in love with the process. If you feel like quilt making is your escape from the world and sitting down to sew for a few hours makes your troubles fade away… this is the quilt for you!

You can sew a cute wrist strap key fob with my fast and easy sewing tutorial.
Of all the DIY projects I’ve sewn and gifted to people, wristlet keychain fobs are the ones that people ask for again and again! This year the assistant principal at my daughter’s elementary school was not very subtle when she repeated several times that the wrist lanyard I gifted her a couple years ago was getting old.
Have you ever wanted to sew a pineapple fruit quilt? Here’s your chance… This free pineapple quilt block and twin quilt pattern is as easy as sewing half square triangles! It’s a great way to use up fabric scraps plus…
This month our Classic Blocks: Fresh Fabrics tutorial included two quilt blocks because it’s so cool how these two simple blocks make a stunning pattern when put together. Can you see the simple nine patches and humble snow ball blocks here? The print fabrics I used are Harmony from Blend Fabrics. Monday is the last day to enter to win a beautiful fat quarter bundle of these fabrics by just making one block! Visit the tutorial for more about that. The binding and solid white fabrics are both Kona Cotton (celery and snow).
The best serger machines for your money are ones that will last you a long time and give you the quality of stitches that you are looking for. There are many different serger brands to choose from, but I have narrowed it down to my three favorite: Babylock, Juki, and Brother. All three of these companies offer great features like color coded threading, easy to use tension controls, fast seam finishing and rolled hems!
You can sew a see though bag with this easy and free sewing pattern. It’s a great way to use beautiful cotton fabric plus easy to find clear vinyl and make a one of a kind (and super useful) tote!
