  • More Pajamas, which are the best?

    February 23, 2025 / 0 Comments

    I can say, I didn’t enjoy the process of making pajamas because I’m lazy, but I love the results. I know I complained about the piping, but sewing really is about the journey.

Gaylen gifted me this fabric a few years ago and I had every intention of making pencil skirt out of it. I can typically get a knit pencil skirt from about 1.5 yards of 60″ wide fabric.
