Well my memory must be fading in my old age, the Bedtime Story also have a one-piece pant. Huh!

Elsa’s corronation Cape is done! It looks great.
I’m onto Hermione’s Ball Dress. I’ve redrawn the bodice from the Garden PartTy. I removed the front gathers, straightened the side seams and added 4″ so it hits where she wants it. I’ve cut the back to add a shirred panel to facilitate dressing and fit.
Now to change the sleeves into short bell…[Read more]

Good luck! I bet having a story book to go along with getting the clock will be very useful. Sending you zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs

I ordered a clock (will be here Monday or Tuesday, I can hardly wait) and I found a book called “The Girl Who Got Out of Bed.” I’ve been trying the “Santa probably won’t stop at our house if he thinks you get out of bed,” but she’s not buying it. I will keep you all updated with any progress or where I am in hiding until she is older. 😉

Another vote for a clock. The ones my girls have is called the Tot Clock and it is entirely too expensive but desperate, sleep-deprived parents will pay anything, right?

I am almost out of time to sew
Pj’s for Christmas, doncha know?
A pair of bedtime

Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. The baby unexpectedly sleep better last night so I just carried on sewing without doing any adjustments and it worked. The seem is slightly bulky but ok. I’m going to use some scraps to try the techniques above to make sure I understand all the great advice and to learn learn learn!

What a clever idea to use glow in the dark thread! I have a little spool of it but haven’t found a good use yet. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Wise move, Heidi — I make that mistake too often and when I see how much unicking I have to do in the morning I groan.
