Home made PJs as a Christmas gift - stingy or not?

[~Hestia~]

I would love if my boys received something like that, I think it shows a lot of thought, especially if you pick appliqué that reflects the child as previously suggested.

[surprised]

Sounds lovely. Gift-giving was never meant to be a dollar-for-dollar exchange. You could make the appliqué bit the first letter of their name in fabric that reflects their interests.

Lol where do we put in our orders?

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I am a competent but not expert sewer - they won't fall apart but I wouldn't be able to sew a complicated dress or anything (I can't do buttons, zips or darts, so that really limits it!). I'll try and choose fabric that will suit each child and a coordinating tee, might have to practice my applique a bit before I can manage letters!

Ok, I have 9-12 pairs of PJs to make between now and Christmas!

I think it sounds ace

The only times I find home made things don't get a good response is exactly as the same as bought stuff: if it's not good quality, if it's not something they'd want, etc. so knowing that pyjamas are desired, and you're a competent pyjama maker, I say go for it
