Short-Patience, Fried-Brain Vacation Project

Seven days off (eleven, counting two weekends)! My patience was short. My brain was fried. What's a sewer to do? Why, make super easy pajamas, of course.

With all the time off, I had to sew something. But, considering my short patience and fried brain, I didn't want to start anything that required much thought. In addition, I'm planning to visit my sister in the Hudson Valley (NY) during winter recess. I don't want to start something and then leave town. I liked my No-Brainer pajama project so much, I decided to make pajamas for most of the adults on my Christmas list. I liked making the gifts so much, I decided to make more pajamas for myself. I can lounge around the house wearing these and not feel compelled to put on real clothes. The bottoms are Simplicity 9330 and the 3/4 sleeve t-shirt is from Ottobre 2/2007 (#2). When I made the Christmas gifts, I bought t-shirts of Alma Maters or favorite sports teams to make the gift more personal. For me, the only requirement is the tops and bottoms coordinate - at least a little! I plan to make more of these and choose fun prints I would never wear otherwise. I can make lots and lots of pajamas in eleven days!



Parting Shot:

Merry Christmas! And a peaceful and prosperous New Year!
