Are you ready to give your Elf on the Shelf the ultimate pampering experience? It’s time to get crafty and stitch up a cozy flannel bathrobe and a pair of lovely PJ’s for your Elf!

It’s kind of fun to make teeny-tiny pockets in your Elf doll’s bathrobe, and for those of you who are still learning to sew, I think you’ll find that side pockets aren’t as hard to sew as you might think!

I used a solid pink flannel for my Elf on the Shelf‘s bathrobe, and to make his little pink floral jammies, I used a lightweight vintage floral flannel fabric from my mother-in-law’s collection.

I recommend using snaps as a back closure for the pajama top and some 1/8 inch elastic for the waistband of your Elf’s pajama pants.

You gotta admit, he’s looking frisky in this little pink ensemble. Have another look:

Now, my elf’s little pajama top uses fabric straps, but my pattern suggests the use of ribbon instead. That’s because I’ve made this top with both fabric straps and ribbon straps, and in the long run, I found that the ribbon was the easier way to make these straps.

But if you want your PJ’s to look like the ones in the photo above, click here for another tutorial that shows how to make the straps with fabric (albeit regular cotton, not flannel). Otherwise, you’ll need some 1/4 inch ribbon for your straps.

You’ll also need some 1/4 inch double-fold bias tape for the bathrobe’s edging. I used the bias tape to make the belt as well, but the belt is optional.

It’s just an afterthought, but if you wanted to, you could loop some 1/8 inch ribbon through the seam, just above your pockets, to create belt loops. I wish I’d thought of that while I was sewing, but it didn’t come to me until after the project had been made and given away for Christmas.

You’ll find that the free pattern I’m giving you below includes a pattern for angel wings. Every Christmas I plan to create the angel outfit that these wings were meant to go with, and every Christmas I somehow fall short!

But this year I finally completed that project! Click here to see the angel wings on my Barbie.

Of course you could make the angel wings to go with your Elf on the Shelf. This picture of him atop our Christmas tree sort of reminds me of Christmas at the Weasley’s in the Harry Potter series! What do you think?

One of the tutorials I’m planning to make soon is a raincoat. It’s really the same pattern as my bathrobe, but I’ll be using this grey cotton to make it look more like a trench coat:

Of course you’re free to make your Elf on the Shelf the same trench coat, by following the instructions for the bathrobe, but using a fabric that works better for a raincoat.
