Pajama Par-tay!!!

In case you've forgotten the spectacle I have been working on this week, here is my pattern and materials:
It was all simple to make, but I did make 5 pieces total: curler cap, top, "panties" (that's what the pattern calls them!), and a pair of slippers.

I was absolutely incompetent at rolling my hair in curlers, so Andrew helped me. He is so wonderful, and it's so nice that he willing supports all of my insane plans. Sorry that these had to be in my bedroom, but I would not wear this in public(!) and they are supposed to be pajama!

Reading a trashy romance novel, actually one that I own and like. Anyone else read Eloisa James?
My curler cap, proudly supported by real curlers.
The back. The top has three buttons, which are hard to make out in the busy print. Being a genius, I did the curlers before I put on the top. LOL.
When T-Rex saw me with the curlers he started barking. HAhahahha. He wanted to bite my feet in the slippers as well. I will do a separate post on the slippers, which were fairly easy and fun to make.
The "panties"!
The full ensemble!
Laughing at Andrew's suggestion of some not so family friendly poses
Anyways, it was fun to make. My arms and legs are freezing, but my body and head are warm.

What DO you think???

Hilarity in Progress

Don't pee your pants laughing (or do, actually) but these are the pajamas I am making, in this pink and green wiener dog fabric, with the yoke trim in green pom-poms. Ahh!
I am making the center view, with ruffler diaper shorts, a puff-sleeve baby doll top and the curler cap. How monumentally awesome!

I am nearly finished with all three pieces, and I have a little left over fabric. Therefore, I dug out this awesome 1948 pattern I got at a garage sale in Oregon a few years ago. To complete my ensemble of ridiculousness I am going to make view 3, the black ones in the center, but without embroidery.
I hope you are as excited as I am- there will be some HILARIOUS photos on Saturday!!
