I Don't Wanna!

I don't wanna cut. I wanna sew. Whine, Whine, Whine. There now that I have that out of my system, I want to share with you my next project. I've been reading about all the PJs that Ody has been making and now I want some new ones. Thanks Ody. Since I couldn't find the right color in my stash for neck binding, I had almost given up on making the PJs. You see, I have the most perfect hot pink cotton lycra to go with the purple pants. But I wanted a purple neck binding. I thought it would look cute if I cut out the PJs on the fabric and make appliques on the t-shirt. I know they are only PJs. Nobody would see if I had the right color neck binding. But I would and it would really bug me. Luckily, I found some cheap clearanced T-shirts on sale at Fashion Bug that didn't fit too badly. They were $7.70 a piece and matched perfectly to the pants fabric I had in my stash. The purple t-shirt matches the dark purple color in the background even though it doesn't look like in the picture. The purple pant fabric is flannel and the other is a good quality quilting cotton. I'll need to add a bit more hip room to my TNT elastic waist pants pattern because I want these to be roomy and comfortable. Now, anyone want to come over and cut them out for me?

  1. When they're finished cutting out for you, can you send them to my place? ;)

  3. I've made 4 pairs of pjs since the end of the summer and I want to make more!!!! They are fun, quick and a good way to indulge my hidden wild side by choosing wild and crazy prints.

  4. Cutting really is the worst! But once you get started it will go fast. I promise!

    I can cut out like the wind, but The Table has to be cleared off first. So, come on over (to Florida) and clear off my table, and bring your project, while you're at it ... LOL

  6. Cutting out is the only way I know to ever get something sewed up (sad isn't it). I don't mind the cutting if I have a pattern fitted up -that is the pain. I need some pjs for spring(long pants like the winter ones but cotton fabric) when it gets too hot for the winter ones. I have summer pjs but they are capri length short sleeve and would look dumb when it is still a little cool. Being partly retired I stay in pjs lots more and love them. Your fabrics and shirts are nice-can't wait to see the pjs. mssewcrazy
