PJ's

Pyjamas are usually well down on my priority list when it comes to wardrobe planning.  Why, well, they are just plain booring right?
But with a regular houseguest and a summer of camping planned it was certainly time I upped my game.  My previous pair, made with a big 4 pattern had always seemed a little Nana like in their tiny floral print on a white background in a quality but matronly knit.  A fabric that was kindly donated by my mother, from her stash, I suspect because it was too Nana like even for a Nana.

Languishing in my ever increasing fabric stash, was a piece of crushed light weight knit from the op shop that I was struggling to actually find a purpose for.  Pyjamas were the obvious choice.  Teamed with a remnant of rayon knit for trim and using Papercut Anima and Tessuti Alexa patterns, I had a plan.

The only alteration I made to either piece was to reduce the leg band width by around half.

I now have a very much camping ground and lazy Sunday morning friendly pair of pyjamas.
