Pyjamas

Oh dear. Not only does this post have photos taken indoors at night, it has toes that have crept into the photo, poorly focused photos and plain old bad photos! I offer it as proof that I do throw things out!! This pair of pyjamas, known to some as Thai fishing pants, came to me second hand, from my daughter. Many years ago. They were once black with some kind of subtle print intended to suggest a more complex weave than they actually have. But, they were always loose and 100% cotton, and that’s enough for a good bit of nightwear.

At the time I took this photo, they had 7 patches on them, and a new tear. I’d patched them in red, yellow, a print, red, and plum. On the inside and the outside, by hand and by machine. And this was the day I decided to cut them up. They made nice, soft rag and some cushion stuffing. They had no more to give! And that, my friends, is why the photo cannot be remedied. The garment is gone. In its place, I made a pattern from this pair and turned a glorious piece of fabric from my friend’s stash (thank you Mace!) into a lovely new pair of pyjamas… and here is a fairly awful photo of them!
