A Quick Ottobre pajama

As the weather is cooling down, the need for warmer and longer pajamas arises. I realized that Abi had only one that was big enough, so I decided to quickly make a few for her. Yesterday I found some in my Ottobre magazine stash and traced the pattern. The pajamas were done by the evening and she already slept in them. Here she is this morning:

Both top and bottom are from the 06/2009 issue of Ottobre kids magazine. Top is #34 and bottom #35. Although the instructions called for a serger and flat-locked seams, I just used my regular sewing machine and a narrow zig-zag for all the seams. I top-stitched some of them with a small zig-zag to give it a "mock" flat-lock appearance. I will make a few more of these for her, but will have to lenghten both the top and the pants quite a bit.
