For the Boys Blog Hop~Lil' Monster Pencil Cases & PJ's

I knew just what I wanted to make for this blog hop. Since my grandson started going to school (kindergarten) this past August, I thought a pencil case would be perfect for him. Plus his birthday is in November and I thought these would make great little party favors for his birthday party too. (His birthday was the 1st and my birthday is November 13, which is today for most of you reading this). These were fun and easy to make. This is a free online pattern from Moda, so if you want to make a Lil' Monster for your 
Lil' Monster go here.
Cute Lil Monster Pencil Cases. Their mouths are closed so mums the word.
Don't their personalities change with their little zipper mouths open? Lol!!!
He looks like he is talking to you.
Don't you love the hair?
A green pencil in his mouth. My grandson loves green so this is the one I made for him.
Yum, yum. 2 pencils.
Flannel Ninja PJ's I made for my grandson.

With some leftover flannel I appliqued some Ninja's onto a large tee-shirt.
I fused the appliques cut from the flannel fabric and then stitched them onto a large tee-shirt. This shirt is way too large but my grandson likes the large ones to sleep in.
Here is an appliqued Ninja. I drew the other half of the nunchucks with a fabric pen and drew in the chain part too.
Thanks to Madame Samm and Amy for organizing this fun blog hop!
