I'm tired of wearing workout pants to bed at night (though they are comfy and convenient if one decides to just roll out of bed and go running). I decided to make some pajamas. I went through my fabric stash and evaluated them on their softness and girly floral patterns.
So I made these pajama bottoms from the Betz White Sewing Green "Lounge Pants" pattern. Size L, of course, for a nice cozy fit through the hips and thighs. The pattern is for a 29" inseam, which I do not have. The pattern also suggests some cuffs in a contrasting hue, but for some reason my seams did not align, so I gave up on them.
They're pretty comfy so far. I'm wearing them to bed tonight and if I like the way they feel, I have a few more soft fabrics lined up for some additional pairs. Mr. Kitty has already given them his seal of approval...
I also decided to try making a nightie. I had McCall's M5248 on hand, so I made a medium, the largest size my pattern offered. My bottom half is not a medium, so I added a bit to the pattern to adjust to my personal measurements. The bodice portion of the nightie turned out way too big, though I am sized correctly for a medium in that department. I fixed that problem, but I still don't like the way it fits. And besides, I don't like nighties anyway. Halfway through the night the whole thing gets bunched up around my waist. Useless!
Anyway, now that I am all outfitted with some new pajamas, who wants to come by for a sleepover? We can play the Mystery Date Game and see which stud or bozo is behind that Mystery Door...
