Simplicity 3935, Again
Done.
Yes, done. I cut it out last night, so it was waiting for me in the sewing room this morning. Between ironing my son's shirts and my husband's shirts, I got the top done. This really is an easy top and constructing it on the serger made it really easy. Quick double folded hems done on the regular machine and it was done.
I'm happy with it and it was a fun project to make since it went so quickly. I don't think there's anything wrong with quick projects. Not every project has to be an epic, couture production. Really, does my daughter's pajama top need to be couture? It's flannel. It will be washed hundreds of times. It will be slept in. Honestly, I don't think so. Durability and neatness is the order of the day for this item and the four thread serging definitely made that possible, not to mention quick.
Up next: another Paco Peralta skirt.
Parting Shot: The Beginning of the End. While these leaves look pretty, they are only the start of what will come and what will have to be raked up!

That's a great top! You're so right - not everything needs to be done painstakingly.
Utility sewing is better served by utility techniques. Sturdy construction, simple finish--and it's still miles better than RTW. I also think that having the couture skills raises the bar on simple sewing. I mean, the level of sewing on all projects is heightened by attaining consummate skills. Hope that made sense.
Love the leaves!
This is quite inspiring - and quick projects are just as important as the more time-consuming, fancy ones.
I really need to make myself pyjamas for the winter - you've reminded me how quick they can be, esp. with a serger. Thank you!
I'm sure your daughter will treasure her new pyjama top.
The trees are just starting to change here so it's interesting that you're already thinking about raking!
