Do you sew pajamas for your kids for Christmas? To tell you the truth, this is my first year doing it. I’ve sewn pajamas for my boys before, but never specifically for the holiday season! Thanks to the Boys in Pajamas Blog Tour sponsored by Peek-a-boo Pattern Shop, I had an excellent reason to do so. As part of this tour, there is a giveaway for $20 credit to Peek-a-boo Patterns so you can sew up your own awesome pajamas for free (and anything else you want while you’re at it!). Make sure to enter via the Rafflecopter Giveaway at the end of this post!

Happy Halloween! As the 3rd and final installment of this year’s Star Wars Halloween costumes, I bring you C-3PO, the finest, shiniest, brightest robot of them all. (See Chewbacca and BB-8 too!)
As I mentioned in this post, Mr. R loves robots. He wants to build them, read about them, and dress up as them. In fact, we realized just a few years ago we did a variation on this year’s theme where Mr. R was R2-D2 and Mr. A was an Ewok (basically a mini version of Chewie, right?). So obviously, C-3PO was the proper costume choice for this Halloween!
The construction for this costume was the simplest out of all three Star Wars costumes. The entire costume base is made out of this gold knit from Jo-Ann, with the exception of the black knit used for the bodice. I used a couple patterns I had on hand for the body: GYCT’s Bowmont Tee and Ellie and Mac’s Kid’s Joggers. Jo-Ann has these fantastic colorful elastic cords that I cut up and sewed onto the bodice for C-3PO’s wires. The gloves were made by tracing Mr. R’s hand, adding seam allowance and a little extra for wiggle room, and sewing mirrored sides together.

My children are young enough that they enjoy dressing up together in a theme for Halloween. Several months ago the plan was to do The Wizard of Oz, but after dreading all the tulle I’d need to sew for my epic Glinda costume, Mr. A announced he wanted to be Chewbacca for Halloween. No matter that we’ve done Star Wars costumes a few years ago, we can do it all over again! So with that, the Star Wars threesome was born. See Baby-8 (BB-8) here, and the next one in the saga will appear next week!
