PAJAMAS AT THE FOTT HOUSE


Pyjamas. Pajamas. PJs. Jammies.  There is nothing like comfortable pyjamas.

A loose-fitting garment consisting of trousers and a shirt or top, worn for sleeping or lounging. Often used in the plural.


We had dinner last night at my little sister’s house for my big sister’s birthday. Our matching pajamas were worn. I bought the fabric to make myself a pair, and rather than waste the left over fabric, Jarvis scored himself, yet another pair of PJs. This time I put elastic around the ankles of his, that way I could make them extra long to allow for growth, but to stop him tripping over the hem. I also like how they look a little like puffy clown pants. 


It is the first time I have ever drafted a pants pattern. For Jarvis I use a pattern I had on hand. However, for mine, I got out the pencils and paper and created my own pattern. For the next pair I make, I will do a few minor adjustments to the pattern. But over all, I am happy with the fit.


You can see some of my sister’s gorgeous house in these images. Which Tamika and I have named the FOTT House. Also I am super happy that Jarvis and I are in photos together. It is such a rare thing, even if I am embarrassing him by matching him! Yeah I know how daggy.


Now I am about to make Tamika and Jarvis a matching set!! Hmm wonder if I can convince Tamika to do a matching photoshoot with Jarvis?

    When you are both gorgeous matching is great - when he is ten he probably will say, not so much. LOVE those pants!

    Thank you :) I was pleased how my first drafted pattern turned out. Next challenge making them for someone else.

    Thank you on both. My hair has gotten so long and crazy, I am not really sure what to do with it. So I wack it up in the messiest bun ever day.

    The most comfortable and favorite pair I have in my wardrobe would be my pajamas. My wife and I have matching pairs and we wear these on our anniversaries. Honestly, I think you did a good job on your PJs. I don't think Jarvis would ever be ashamed of matching pjs with you, seeing how well you made one. =)
