Using for Pajama pants



Making baggy leg pants to go with Baggy Top


I have this nice soft cotton knit with bicycles on it.  I made the top for the Pajamas by cutting accross the fabric folded over long enough to be the front where I wanted it and that was the front and back... held it up to be the right length and folded the two pieces over making a slanted mark for the shoulders and then a scoop for the neckline slightly for the back piece and a little lower for the front.  This way when I hold  it up I know the front has a lower neckline than the back.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     


                                                                                                                 I took a rectangular piece all the way accross the fabric that is left and folded it over and made it the length of this cut out scoop all the way around and then sewed it together on the ends.   This was the center back of the droopover neckline of the pajama top.


Hem sleeves where you want them, Hem bottom of shirt all the way around.....DONE!

This fabric came from the 'Treasure Hunt' Room for 2.97 a yard

1.5 top($4.50) and pants ($6)



To figure yardage needed... 60 inches wide knit

the length of the top will do the front and back- I did 3/4 for the center top...plus 3/4 For the sleeves and drapey collar.

For the Pajama pants I am using view D from the above pattern.

2 to 2.5 yards

For me that is great not to have to go anywhere, they are large and comfy and soft, because of my newly found auto immune disease (not contagious, but rare and no cure)  that otherwise, I would not be able to curl up and get my rest, so I can see everyone still at GSTREETFABRICS, mostly behind the register to greet you.

It is painful to touch my skin-my skin hates itself, but look at how lucky I am to sew.  I just had to change wardrobe designs.

Making a Room Divider with Fabric and Cardboard

-

 Making Things that are Easy and Quick Everything I do is not always sewing as you could see from my Polar Fleece edging blog.  Now I am sewing today, but I am planning a room divider.  I really don't lift heavy things, but I have a doorway that is just a hole to under the stairs where I store things.  I want to put a room divider there. A.  I can't find anything I like. B.  They are probably heavy. So  I am going to put random pieces of cardboard together to the size I want and then cover it with Library fabric that looks like books on shelves.  This has been something I have been searching for and have not been able to find for a month or two.  So I decided to make one. Sew, I am posting a picture of the divider I fashioned.  It is actually attached to a hanger so that it can be rotated to go into the storage space under the stair.  There is no electrical light, so I managed to find some motion detector lights on amazon that I could stick on the sides and under a stair back a

Making simple Outfits

SewalongwithKitty.com   Yes, that's me.  Always made my clothes even when I was a Real Estate Broker, or a Budget Anyalyst for the Government... Or when I worked at different Banks.  I remember that shirtwaist to this day..That was probably 40 years ago.  Lovely lightweight cotton and I put an elastic casing at the waist so I wouldn't have to make a belt... That sweatshirt jacket matched perfectly and I just turned under the edges of the front and topstitched. I have always loved sewing and wearing pretty colors.  I like the control of picking the colors and styles you want. Make anything and feel so much better after you make it and wear it and say... "I did that!".... No matter what else might go wrong, I know I can always make an outfit and feel good about myself. You should too.
