| Pajama Top |
I finished sewing the pajama top! I didn't have enough of the patterned fabric to make the yoke, so I used a coordinating solid colored cotton flannel for the yoke and the facings. I think it works out well and helps to tone down the rather busy pattern.
I used buttons that were in my button stash (inherited from my mother!) There were six buttons in the packet; perfect! My sewing machine has a button hole foot and it would have been quicker to sew the button holes in the machine, but I chose to hand sew my button holes. I just prefer to hand sew button holes using a closely spaced blanket stitch. I find hand sewing to be relaxing and almost meditative. I sewed the button holes yesterday and I sewed on the buttons this morning.
Here's the whole set:

I have one more length of cotton flannel fabric that I have bought. I have plans to sew another nightdress with it. Just not sure if I want to sew it now or wait awhile.
Whoo-Hoo, Bless! Both of the pajama pieces came out really good! I know I said it before but I love the fabric- and I think the way you used the solid blue to make the yoke was fabulous! Great job! Enjoy your pretty PJ's!! :)
ReplyDeleteDawn, thank you! Yes, the combination worked out well, didn't it? :)
DeleteSuch a charming result, Bless. The plain fabric works so well to add a fashion touch to the top. Sometimes shortage of fabric or yarn can lead to happy outcomes.

Thank you! Yes, I think the combination worked out well. I'm still amused the pants gave me such trouble! :D
DeleteLovely pj's.. Know you will enjoy wearing them.. I like the solid yoke.. Very pretty..
ReplyDeleteHope your having a blessed Sunday.
Thank you, Judy. The pattern called for adding eyelet lace to the yoke, and sleeves, but I decided to omit that. I was tempted to embroider some flowers on the yoke, though!
DeleteVery nice:-)
ReplyDeleteJess, thank you! :)
