It's half term this week! I get to have some spare time! That means I get to do some craft and some drawing for the first time in about six weeks! Last night I celebrated by making these little summer pyjamas. I made up the pattern, using a vintage trouser pattern for guidance. For the top I traced a top I already have and altered it to be short and have big arm holes (which are actually too big but let's not discuss that).
I used elastic for the waist and leg holes, a technique I haven't done for many years so I was pleased I tried something'new'.
My favourite part is the bias binding on the neck line and arm holes. It's pink and grey to bring out the pink and grey on the fabric. I hadn't tried this technique before, so I felt very professional!
oooh I like it, I want it too! ;)

You are so clever, Jill! The PJs are just adorable and I love the fabric too...can't wait to see how your drawings turned out as well.
ReplyDeletemy goodness, these are so cute! I'm not usually a 'bottoms in bed' person but need something for a holiday that will, well, cover the bottom for emergency middle of the night excursions. I realise belatedly how odd that sounds. Basically I need my own version of these. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteso cute! it´s so good to have time for crafting and painting, isn´t it? i just had a similar phase...
ReplyDeleteThey've turned out well but you'll need warmer ones than those when you visit. I suggest long sleeves,long legs and made with fleecy material.m.x
ReplyDeletewell done you !! you are much talented when it comes to sewing clothes ! I admire this ability so much ! Maybe you will inspire me .... in a distant future.

better that the arm holes are too big rather than too small. lovely bloomers :) x
ReplyDeletewoohoo- i love it when you have time for crafting. :)
ReplyDeletei think a jill-made clothing range would be a very good addition to the fashion world. these pyjamas are beautiful.
