Every year my in-laws give each other new pajamas on christmas eve, and I – remarkably – had not thought of making them some. Thanks!
I am SO making me some Don’t Get Out of Bed pants! And maybe some for the man of the house, too, as his ugly flannel ones are getting on my nerves. Cute stuff today, thanks!
I’m definitely into not getting out of bed! As a matter of fact I’ll be making my PJ bottoms out of soft cozy flannel sheets…

The 3-2-1 Quilt throw looks like a great pattern for my daughter (6 yrs old) who is learning to sew. She would be so proud to make a quilt for her new baby cousin.
I would love to win this book. Commercial lingerie that’s affordable is not pretty!
I love the charm squares in the baby quilt; the fabrics are not at all like the kind that I buy, and that’s why I am drawn to them.
Please enter me in the drawing.
Thank you,
Kathleen C.

I keep meaning to make some pillowcases. Maybe this is the Christmas I actually get it done.
Oh my gosh. I think I clicked on every link this time. So much goodness on this page. And the book is intriguing… I have been thinking about making some of my own nightgowns for a while, just scared they will turn out horrible. I will have to look at this book for sure.
I’m loving the cozy inspiration shared here today. I most definitely will be making some (post-baby) lounge pants for my swift approaching January due date. I’m thinking luxurious stretch velvet for a little bit of glamour. Thank you for sharing these inspiring tutorials!
great toots, again! I’m going to check out those quilt patterns!
how fun does this book look? I would love a copy!
Those pj’s look super comfy. And I’m planning on doing a quilt for my son for Christmas.
I love the quilts. the baby quilts are such a precious gift! The easy-to-make quilted throw would be a great gift for grandma!!

Bookmarking the 3-2-1 quilt. It’s a perfect present for my mom, and will be quick, too!
These projects are just what I’ve been looking for. I love the quilted throw and the sleep pants. They look so cozy!
That quilted throw looks like a perfect project for me. Thanks
Love the quilt!

The quilts by ALissa are just precious, but not too cute, you know?
The PJs are so great. And I love the 3 – 2 – 1 quilt. I wish I had started quilting with a simple project like that!
I’m working on my first real quilt (the first one I tied and my grandma sewed-up the edges for me back in college) following Elizabeth’s pattern from scrapbusters month – looking cute so far. Now I want to make those pajama pants too – never made any clothes before but really want to try those out!
I think I’ll try the pjs!
I love the quilted throw and those PJ pants! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Love the binding method on the throw, I’ll definately be trying that!
The best thing about Handmade Holidays is discovering so many other creative bloggers out there. I’m loving today’s category.
The removable pillow covers will be perfect for my cousin. She changes her decor for each season and I think I can make a couple sets for her.
I’m also checkding out the “Don’t get out of bed pants”. Love the name. =]
I have been looking for a book like this! I hope I’m chosen! Thank you!
I would love that book. I think there are a couple people on my list getting pajamas this year!
Love the Charm Squares Baby Quilt, so pretty!

Kathy
I cant wait to make the pyjamas and would love to see the projects from the book!!!
I’ve got a stash of fabric waiting to be made up as pj’s for Christmas presents.
I dread clothes shopping it’s a deep deep fear, i think it would be great if i could figure out how to make my own clothes and what better place to start than with undies! This is a great site xxx
Ooooo, such snuggle worthy ideas!
I’m feeling cozy already, just looking! I better start my list!
This post makes me want to crawl back in bed and plan another project.
i have always wanted to make my own unders! how cool
I love the quilts and the gift tags. Thanks for another inspiring group of projects!
Those baby quilts are lovely! I have seen them previously when wandering the web, but I’m finally learning to quilt, and these look completedly do-able! Yay!
Ooo– I like sweet nothings! What a fun book!
I just found your site from indietutes.blogspot.com. This is such a great site and so many beautiful things! I will certainly be back daily.
I love the range of crafts you provide – something for us beginners and more advanced sewers. Thank you.
It’s wrong that I just want to make the pj pants for myself, right? I’ve got a charm square quilt in the works for my niece!
Lovely, Lovely, Lovely!!!!

The baby quilt is ADORABLE! Time to start going through my fabric stash
The quilts and jammies look so cozy!

I look forward to Handmade Holidays every morning while I drink my coffee, it’s so inspirational, thank-you
That 3-2-1 quilt looks snuggly and easy….definately trying that one!
I love all the projects…So many things I “could” do
Those pants are calling my name!
Cute quilts…I wish I could whip those up in no time, but I might have to build up to that. I am very interested in the book freebie today!
The don’t get out of bed pants would go great with a cami from Sweet Nothings and a plate of Chocolate Chip- Pumpkin Spice Bars….Perfect projects for a cozy night at home!!
Looks like I’m about to become much busier!!

Those pumpkin bars look delicious!
I love the quick and easy quilt idea!
Whoa! Stop! I’m overwhelmed with holiday ideas! Love the “Don’t Get Out of Bed Pants” (great name), two great baby quilts, simple but stylish removable pillow covers, and even a sweet holiday-ish treat! Great post today

Great projects! I have some fun Ikea fabric and will be making those pillows!
i think i might have to make those pants today!
Our four adult children will all be home this weekend, and so I printed off the Choc Chip Pumpkin Bars recipe…..Looks yummy! Hope I win the give-away too, holidays will be here soon!!
I made a quilt once and it killed my desire to sew. Now seven years later I’m so inspired by the ‘new’ simple tutorials I just have to try again! Thanks!
I have been dying to try quilting, the 3-2-1 Quilt is my perfect oppurtunity and the give away book looks lovely. There is nothing better that a new pair of undies or something “special” to make you feel special. I am going to start on the jammie pants today for my little lovelies that need jammies.
Love the baby quilts and the pajama pants. I’m making my gift-giving list one day at a time this year!
This reminds me of the quilts I need to finish up. And I’d LOVE to win that book.
Quilting has always been a bit scary for me, but I love the first tutorial above! Thanks!

Lovely…can’t wait to try some of these.
I love the 3-2-1 quilt… Easy enough to knock out a few in no time at all! My girls and I will have to work on a few of those!
I was afraid of wonky/random blocks until I saw Alissa’s baby quilt tutorial when it was on her blog. (But I must say I pronounce my name the other way…)
I just love Handmade Holiday time of the year, it is so inspiring.
Man – the food in these posts is killing me. Must go eat! I liek the lounge pants. If only I could wear them to work. Thanks!

Sleeping sounds so good right now…
I sure need new Pj-pants.
Thank you for all the tutorials
I love the quilts, but have yet to take on that venture. Maybe this will be my time!
Sleep…is there any other five letter word that’s so sweet and cozy? Love the 3.2.1 quilt; I’ve got something similar in the studio now. Just found a lot of fabric I loved, on sale, and thought it would make a fabulous quilt. Hope I’m right, time will tell!

I really like the tutorial for the super-easy removable throw pillow cover you linked to today, and have made several pairs already. The only hard part of making these is finding just the right print for each recipient!

The quilted throw makes me think of all the blankets my mom made while we were growing up!
I’ve made a baby quilt from the Sparks tutorial and it was adorable and really fun to make! And I have the same vintage sheets that Tamara used for her pj tutorial!

Just finished my version of the 123 throw.. it really was as easy as 1,2,3! This was my first quilt and I’m so happy with how it came out- I’m feeling more confident about trying more complicated quilts in the future.
cool book…have wanted to get into sewing unmentionables for a while
I’m going to make one quilt for my husband and one for my nephew. It’s perfect for a beginning seamstress. Thank you so much for doing this. The projects are excellent and the book give-aways are so exciting!
I need new pj pants; I think I will use Tamara’s pattern. They looks so comfy!
Er, I mean they *look* so comfy!
