Two Piece Frozen Elsa Pajamas Tutorial


Now that the weather is getting cooler I decided to put away the t-shirt nightgowns I made during the summer. I wanted to make a two piece version to keep her warmer during the fall weather. I also used some old thick black t-shirts that my husband donated to my fabric stash.

Top
I used the tutorial from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom with some adjustments. First I added several inches to the sleeve to make it long enough to hit my daughter's elbow. Then I several more inches to the bottom of the bodice to go a couple of inches below my daughter's waist.

Bottom
Follow the instructions for my toddler pajama pants tutorial.


Decoration
You are going to need cream, yellow, pink and light blue glitter tulip soft fabric pant. Follow the instructions for my pumpkin stencil to freezer paper stencil tutorial. I also used a snowflake stencil for the bottoms and to decorate the shirt.

Tie-Dye Toddler T-Shirt Nightgown Tutorial


Since most of the t-shirt material I use for my daughter's nightgowns are white from my husband's old undershirts I wanted to be creative and add a little color. I saw this easy tie-dye effect on the Martha Stewart show years ago and decided to give it a try.



Materials:
  • T-shirt Nightgown
  • Sharpies in different colors 
  • Eyedropper
  • Alcohol
Directions:
  1. Make the base of the nightgown following these instructions: http://ftmlosingit.blogspot.com/2014/06/easy-toddler-t-shirt-nightgown-tutorial.html up to step 8. 
  2. You can place a piece of cardboard inside nightgown so that the Sharpie doesn't bleed through the back of the nightgown. Draw dots anywhere you want the tie-dye to be. I drew the dots on the neckline and hem. To get a flower like burst I drew a bigger dot in the middle and smaller dots around the big dot. 
  3. Take out cardboard and place something inside nightgown like a baking pan to catch the alcohol. Place alcohol inside dropper and add drops on top of each Sharpie dot and let the tie-dye take affect. 
  4. Allow the nightgown to completely dry. Use a hot iron or clothes dryer to set the design.
  5. Continue the steps on the nightgown to complete it.
