BWOF Project of the Month: December, or, How you'll find me on any given Saturday morning

Since I don't work with Cidell, I had to make my own kimono pajamas. That's okay, I wanted the pants instead of the shorts anyway.

Jacket: 12-2007-125, Pants: 12-2007-127

Fabric

Fashion fabric: embroidered linen(?) - It was included in a mystery bundle from Fabric Mart. I had no idea what to do with it, until I saw these PJs.

Contrast bands: cotton/linen leftover from another project

Construction/alterations

Beware, there are lot of contrast bands to keep track of. I stuck post-it notes on all of them to keep track of the different lengths.

The top is closed on the inside by two small ties.

The elastic doesn't go all the way around the waist - the ends of the elastic are sewn down into the dart seams in the front. I really like this look.

Conclusion

Fun, easy to wear pajamas! I imagine I'll sleep in the pants and a t-shirt, then put on the kimono jacket once I wake up and I'm starting my day with a cup of coffee and some web-surfing.
