Hello all!  I’m back!!  I’ve been absent from posting, but not from projects!!  Working full time has made my hobby take a bit of a backseat… but here’s a fun new pajama eater that I whipped up!  I hope you enjoy this Cat Pajama!

It’s the same basic design as my other patterns… the dino, the panda, the shark, and the bear.  Simple and fun, and you can collect them all!!

I’m thrilled to share this FREE pattern with you!  Don’t forget to share your version and tag me on Facebook MB Stitches and on Instagram MB_Stitches!!
