Free pattern: Best Friends Summer Pajamas for little kids

by

GirlfriendsShauna from Shwin & Shwin shares a free pattern for the pajamas that she made for her  daughter.  She made them from the Girl Friends fabric by Anne Kelle.  The little girls are a cute print on the jammies, but she went one step further and fussy cut sof them, turning them into matching softies as itty bitty friends for her daughter to play with as she drifts off to sleep.  The pattern is one that she has shared before, though for this go-round she shortened the sleeves and legs, added piping to the sleeves, changed up the collar, and added a faux placket to the pants.  The pattern is a size 4T.  Go to her blog for the free pattern and tutorial.

  1. Wow, those are very cute pajamas! I am pretty sure kids would definitely love this, and most specially if the print is their favorite cartoon character. I also like the idea that she shorten the sleeves and adding piping on. It makes it look more beautiful.

  2. This is interesting!! I will check on her blog to get on the pattern. I am so excited to try making my own pajama. Thanks for sharing this.

Etsy Spotlight: A Moo-velous Make for Highland Cow Lovers

Okay, confession time: I’ve always dreamed of having a Highland cow as a pet. There’s just something magical about their shaggy coats, sweet eyes, and gentle nature that makes them utterly irresistible. But since zoning laws (and my backyard) don’t quite allow for the real thing, I’ve found the next best option — this Highland Cow Sewing Pattern on Etsy.

This adorable PDF pattern lets you stitch up your very own fluffy Highland friend, complete with detailed photo instructions that guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re crafting it as a cuddly toy, a cozy décor piece, or a unique gift, this little cow brings all the charm without any of the farm chores.

It’s suitable for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike, and with the right fabric (faux fur, anyone?), you can really bring that signature Highland cow fluff to life. And yes, I’m already picturing a mini herd in festive scarves come Christmas!

At CraftGossip, we love supporting independent Etsy sellers who bring whimsy and heart into their handmade patterns—and this one is a standout. So if you’re like me and secretly dream of Highland cows roaming your living room, this might just be your next feel-good project.
