Stitch your own supervillain pyjamas!
I'd been on the hunt for a cute pair of pyjamas for ages but all the cool style, like superhero and dinosaurs were made for children and I was sad I couldn't find any in my size. That's when I was struck by the idea to make my own superhero, or should I say supervillain pyjamas! My favourite comic book character is Harley Quinn, so I had to order two colours of onesie for this project and stitch them together. Which superhero would you like to be at bedtime?

Step 1Buy two identical onesies. One in red and one in black.
-
Step 2Take out you ruler, tape measure and chalk and mark a line under the bust. Making sure it's in exactly the same position on both onesies.
-
Step 3Get a photo of Harley for reference. Make a cut from the edge to the zip, leaving an inch allowance to the top on the left hand side and on to the bottom on the right hand side.
-
Step 4Take a seam ripper and unstitch the left hand side of the top and right hand side of the bottom.
-
Step 5You should be left with a onesie that looks like this. Repeat the same technique for the black onesie, so that you're left with the opposite parts. Remember to change the direction of the seam allowance.
-
Step 6Unstitch the black pieces from their zip and align in place on the red onesie.
-
Step 7I'm terrible at explaining these parts - fold the black top down, so that it's bottom edge is inline with the top of the red leg and pin the front and back edges together. The two chalk lines you marked earlier should be nicely lined up.
-
Step 8Sew along the chalk line to attach the top to the bottom. Then sew the front edge to the zip, the back edge to the red onesie and the top to the hood.
-
Step 9Your onesie should now look like this.
-
Step 10Attach the right black leg using the same technique.
-
Step 11Unstitch the right hand side of the hood and replace with the black side of the hood.
-
Step 12Now we get to make the horns. Lay the hood on top of a piece of paper and sketch out the shape you'd like the horn to be. Cut this out.
-
Step 13Lay two squares of the remnant black fabric on top of each other and pin the template on top. Cut around, leaving a small margin.
-
Step 14Sew around the outline of the horn, leaving the paper in place to guide you, but leaving a small opening so you can turn it inside out.
-
Step 15Turn the horn inside out.
-
Step 16Fill with stuffing and stitch the opening closed.
-
Step 17Get a mannequin or ask someone to be your model while you pin the horns in place at either side of the hood. Sew in place.
-
Step 18Now we're going to make the collar by laying a piece of white paper over the neck of your onesie and tracing the neckline. Draw four scalloped points similar to ones that Harley has.
-
Step 19Trace around the template on to white fleece, flipping over to draw a complete circle.
-
Step 20Stitch the collar to the neckline of your onesie.
-
Step 21Now we need to make ten poms poms. Draw a circle on paper for your template and trace around on to the fleece twenty times.
-
Step 22Cut your fleece circles out and pin two of each together.
-
Step 23Sew around the circles, leaving a small gap.
-
Step 24Turn inside out and fill with stuffing.
-
Step 25Slip the openings of the pom poms on to the scalloped points of the collar and stitch in place.
-
Step 26Slip the remaining two on to your horns and sew in place.
-
Step 27Now all we need to do is add some felt diamonds for the final touch.
