PJ Love

These are two more of the PJ pants I made. (The fourth pair went to Mary.) When we first moved to Germany we got these sheets for our duvets - one set red, one set gray. Then I swapped the pillow cases. I saved those sheets all these years even though they haven't been on our bed in a loooong time. Sometime last fall I had the idea that sheets would make comfy pjs, so I pulled these sheets out for experimenting. They were finally finished on Valentine's Day, quite appropriate I say! Of course the problem, as I mentioned in my last post, is that now all I want to wear is my pjs!

Catching Up

Luxe PJs

A couple of people said I should post the pajama pants, but I'm not posting a pic of me IN them. The shirt is the Summertime Blouse, and is not technically a pj shirt, but I didn't really like the way it looks on me. It made me look pregnant, in my opinion. But it's made of voile and SO comfy! So I figured it would make nice pjs. The pants are a silk/cotton blend and soooo luxurious feeling! I really enjoyed making pj pants. I made four pairs! (not all silk!) I love lounging around the house in them!

Did you see that the Colette blog did some tutorials on flat felled seams?

Study Hall Skirt

I know this is called the Study Hall Skirt, but the whole time I was making it I was thinking it looked like a cheerleader skirt! (Just a LOT longer!) The fabrics are both polka dots, even though it's hard to see in the photo. This is a good pattern. The only alteration I made was to add a lining, and that's just my personal preference. Cotton sticks to tights and bunches and crawls, so I line all my skirts. If you use this pattern I recommend using a serger. You have to finish a lot of seams and iron them open, so if you zig zag every side of the fabric piece it would take you forever!
