It's been a slow week for sewing - I've had quite a lot on in the evenings, which has distracted me a bit unfortunately! I went out in the sun at lunchtime today though and went to Calico for a bit of fabric browsing. Well...it was meant to just be a browse, but of course once I was in there I just couldn't resist...!
My next project is going to be PJ bottoms, and I'm going to make them from the new fabric I got today! It's a beautiful soft cotton stripe - perfect for comfy PJs for curling up in.
However...I am in a bit of a quandry at the moment - I was going to use the pattern from the Great British Sewing Bee book, but I've read a few things online that imply that the pattern sizing isn't quite right. I've been on the Simplicity website, and found this project for pyjama pants instead, so I think I might give it a go! Has anyone tried either of these patterns - any recommendations?
The other fabric which I got recently is this gorgeous denim star print - I got it in the Nelaro Fabrics sale on Facebook! Unfortunately it was the very end of the line, and so I could only get half a metre - so that obviously very much limits what I can make with it! It might be another bag - we'll see. Any other ideas welcome...!
