There’s something wonderfully egalitarian about jim jams. Of an evening I bet even The Queen can be found padding about her palaces in slouchy pants and novelty slippers. Admittedly her trews are likely fashioned from Royal Stewart Tartan and her slippers are monster feet with claws of real gold. I wonder if Her Majesty has ever sewn her own PJs? Queen Victoria used to crochet. Mind you if either of these women pitched up at the Pyjama Party today it wouldn’t be such a relaxed, trans-continental affair. I can’t see either monarch thwacking a piñata, playing Truth or Dare or arguing over which film to watch first. Well, maybe I can imagine that last one. Talking of guests… Dream PJ Party guest? You can choose from the whole of history and from any fictional universe. Seeing as I sewed for sprogs and my husband reads this blog {you out of bed yet?!} it would be clumsy to nominate Sir Gorgeous of Clooney. I’m thinking we need a good storyteller and/or someone to cook. Hmmm.
What did I make? Well, yes, now you come to mention it, I did rustle up an item or three. Now, where are they? Right, who left them hanging about in the garden?
A little something floral for the ♀ a little something plain for the ♂. I haven’t done much to dismantle any gender stereotypes here. Be reassured that there was an element of free choice. He can totally carry off pink, patterned and lace strewn and she can rock black. Any road up. Karen, thanks for another fab Sewalong.

Ooh lovely! and you even made a pair for the Mr! I wonder if my BF will allow me to make him some?
Wonderful poem too!
Thanks! And – menfolk – so hard to craft for. I’m hoping that he’ll allow me to make some more…
A poem!!! Fantastic. And oh, that pretty pretty combination of liberty lawn and lace. Be still my beating heart. You’ve made some fantastic things here. Thank you so much for taking part.
A pleasure, as always, Great Leader!
I LOVE the lace detail on the floral ones. Perfect for summer holidays!
Me too, I’m such a sucker for lace. Might need to make something in leather as an antidote.
Awww pretty PJs!
Thanks!
Gorgeous fabric – so pretty. I think my girls would love some like that too 🙂
She’s wearing them right now so I count that as a success! The shorts were very quick, the top took a little longer.
Oh, very nice PJ’s and shorties! I also like the slide show you put up! I was watching it and wish it was longer, lol.
Thanks! Wish I had more good shots to add to the slideshow, the black in particular was very tricky to photograph.
Good one! Jammies are always good. I wish it was ok to wear them outside the house! That’s some good sewing you got going on!
I soo wish I could wear jim jams all -the – time!
Oooh, very nice! That lace trim is simply divine, such a beautiful touch. 🙂
Thanks!
What a lovely top as well! Very delicate, I aspire to such delicacy, I tend to end up with much more boisterous pattern and trim choices
Thank you! Got to love Liberty fabric.
They are delicious!! The pint sized ones should love them. I need to finish a coat for my youngest before I can even start my pj’s 😦
Yeah! Great poem and lovely pajamas.
Such pretty PJs – I am in awe of the Liberty (too scared to use it for anything I sew myself yet…)
Very cute and I really like your introduction story 🙂
This is the first time I’m coming by your blog, thanks to Karen’s sew-a-long. I love your style of writing and your projects came out lovely – I’m going to see what else you’ve done!
Thanks! One of my favourite parts of the sewalongs is discovering what other folks have made and making new sewing friends.
Me too!
🙂
