Instead of starting the next sewing project, I decided I really should finish off the one that has been draped over my chair for ages. Nothing fancy, just a pair of pyjammie pants. I was just being a bit lazy about finishing them off. All that needed doing was the waistband and the hems.
I wanted to do the waistband a bit differently, using a ribbon instead of having lots of flannel folded over and ending up with bunchy bits that dig into my hips when I sleep on my side (in other words, all the time). And seeing as they are just for around the house, it didn't really matter that I was spending more time waffling on with Sally than attention to the straightness of the sewing...
There certainly wasn't much measuring going on, not even with the hems.

The macbook case is still on the cards. I need to get some denim I think. But the other fabrics have been selected (naturals and reds in the end) and I think I'm definitely going to have to do some measuring for this project!

They look so comfy, just in time for the cold nights heading our way snuggling on the couch :) good modelling too!
Very cool, miss! The ribbon idea is genius! Love the print. Love the orange too. Love everything about them.
Yes... the orange ribbon is such a funky touch. I'm all inspired to make myself with ribbon too :)
Were they comfy to sleep in???
Sitting there chatting sounds like fun to me and the pj's turned out really well. They do look soft and snuggly and the orange look pretty groovy with the pink and green:)
Oh my comment disappeared I think. I love the mew pyjamas and the orange ribbon seems to just go with the material. I think the nice ribbon is an excellent idea for the elastic channel.
Yay for finishing projects! That is my little mantra for the year "I am a finisher" :)
I like the orange ribbon too, may have to steal that idea...gotta have comfy PJ's :-)
