It makes me think of warm summer nights, or hot, yet, breezy summer days. Perfect for long, flowing maxi skirts, or short, lightweight sleep shorts.
This weekend, I went with the sleep shorts. I've been itching to make a pair out of one of Cloud 9's Palos Verde fabrics for awhile now. I went with the La Venta print and picked up coordinating stretch lace (now at Finch!) to use as a waistband.
I had planned on using this pattern by Liesl Made, however my printer has chosen to become petulant lately, so instead I just traced out a comfortable pair of sleep shorts that I already own. I followed the directions on the blog though, and even decided to use French seams like she instructs. They came together quickly and simply, although I may go back and take them in a tad, because much to my surprise they are a bit large on me.
Love the pajama shorts you have made, as do I in the skirt in the next post. You are fast becoming an inspiration for the clothes I want to sew for myself post baby :-)
