I finally picked up the mushroom pj's and finished them. I had put them away and was sidetracked by other things. Now they are done and I am very happy with them. The pattern is an old Butterick boys pj pattern. With the help of Corinnea, I made the collar peter pan and the sleeves more feminine. The pants fit perfect but the shirt is a little boxy and could be fitted more at least in the shoulder area so the sleeve/shoulder seem is where it should be. But altering was never my strong point:) This little dragonfly was given to me along with 4 others from my BFF Jennifer Battle (aka Jenny Bean, Jenny B). They hang in Emily's window but the photos I took of them there were awful. Aren't they beautiful? She had her cousin or aunt (sorry I can't remember who) make them just for me:).
