Thanks to Darla for this Frugal Baby Tip!
If anyone wants to try their hand at making PJ's for their kids try Kwik Sew # 2315 (for knits only - get a ball point or a universal needle for your machine). This could easily be your first sewing project - it's that easy. The pants are one pattern piece + ribbing for the cuffs.
The only tricky part is putting on the ribbing (in the tight areas especially like the sleeves). Just remember to turn it right side out first. I have this patern in sizes 1-4 which fits kids from 31-40 " tall.
It's easy to lengthen/shorten the legs, rise (for diapers), sleeves, and body to custom fit as well. All you need is a ruler. Kwik Sew has the BEST directions.
NOTE: This pattern 2315 is not longer listed but it is almost the same as Kwik Sew 3510.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
