New Pajamas, Part One

The Shorts

Since this week is about sewing for my son, I'm going to finish it up with a set of pajamas.  He didn't *need* the shirt, but the pajamas are needed.  The fabric is this interlock knit with a moose print that I picked up at Fabric Fix last week:

He wants a t-shirt and shorts, even in winter, so I pulled out Simplicity 3935 to make the shorts.  I knew I had already cut out the tissue and had possibly folded it down to the right size, so there wouldn't be too much fussing with the pattern.

There isn't a view for shorts, but I made some anyway by shortening the pants to slightly longer than the pair of pajama shorts he's wearing now.  Very easy to make, two pieces, elastic waist and not much time. 

So far, he's happy with how this set is turning out.  That's what nice about sewing for him.  He genuinely likes what I make and isn't too picky!

Next up:  the t-shirt.

Parting Shot:  The Cable Guy.  One of the basic skills of my husband's job is making cables for the network.  Not a lofty job by any means, but one that needs to be done so that the more impressive work of making the data move actually happens.  I thought it was an interesting look that he was sporting, wearing all the cables around his neck.

Valerie - The cuffs of the fingerless gloves were knit with a fuzzy/furry type of yarn, as was the trim on the hood.
