Glee sewing nerd moment

Besides writing one of my other talents is sewing.
I use this talent during the holiday season to make flannel pj pants for my sisters.
This is what they want. One year I didn't make the pants because I was busy and I was upset about the migraine my sister gave me the year before when she sent me a whole box of Bath and Body Works products. I may have also been moving that year.
My sisters staged an intervention. They would not accept the lovely, useful, gift cards I had given them to places I knew they shopped. No. They wanted those pants.
One year my little sister agreed that she wanted an Ikea gift card so she could get a new coffee table. I got her the gift card as we agreed would be OK the following year all she wanted was the pj pants.
I usually pick out Christmas prints.
This is the print I picked out for my little sister. Super cute right. (Don't worry. I don't think my sister knows I have a blog so it is OK for me to talk about her present)
Apparently I'm not the only person who thought so. Last night when I was watching the Christmas episode of Glee Brittney was wearing a nightgown out of this same fabric.
I love Glee and when I see their costumes I imagine that it must be a fun place to work. My job is fun (I work in theater) but I'm sure working at Glee would be more fun. When I saw Brittney with the pink plaid and snowflake nightgown it made me super happy.

I'm not a sewer but I am a knitter. I love making blankets and scarves. I haven't tried anything complicated like socks or hats yet...they scare me. :D

Hannah- Hats aren't too scary. I really like the kitty/lil devil pattern from the first Stitch and Bitch book. It knits up super fast and you can do all sorts of different things to personalize it like doing a pom pom at the top instead of the ears or horns.

Your sisters are so lucky to have sister who sews like you! Sewing gives me horrible flashbacks to a failed 6th grade pillow project. GAH.

That print is adorable. You must have your finger on the pulse of fashion!
