Kids Sewing Project – Pajama Pants

We joined a new co-op and my daughter’s class of 10-12 year olds was having a movie pajama party. She really wanted to make her new pajama pants to wear to the party, so I moved the pajama pants sewing project up on the priority list.

Since K got a movie party at co-op B and S wanted a movie party too. Now that you mention it… I want a movie party too! I told the boys that when they finished sewing their pajama pants, we’d celebrate with a movie party at home! Pizza, popcorn, root beer and candy!

Lastly, my oldest had his turn. He’s very meticulous and detail oriented which makes him a pretty good seamster. To anyone questioning me teaching my boys how to sew (I also teach them how to cook, do laundry, and wrap gifts) – you’re welcome! 😇 I’ve met people whose strict stereotypical gender roles are really a hindrance. My goal is to raise well-rounded, capable, kind, and compassionate human beings who follow Jesus. Not boys/girls who fit into boxes that the world has defined.

He was super proud to “build“ himself pants! There’s something really neat about buying some yardage of fabric, cutting it into odd shapes, sewing seemingly random parts together and then turning it all right side out to discover you can wear the thing! 😁

Happy homeschooling & sewing friends!
