nothing that takes up qu ite so much
m a te ria l and rem ains in service so
short a tim e as pajam as fo r the
young fr y of the fa m ily .
One of the com m on sights around
m ost households I know are those
w ornout cotton robes w hich you

to m ake it look even m ore worn
than usual, it would even be w orth

yo u r directions cn the package of
dye to get the best results.
A fte r the robe has been cleaned
o r dyed, and pressed flat, fit the pa
ja m a pattern to it. You m ay have
to do some s m a rt fittin g to m ake it
come out, but there is bound to be
enough m a te ria l to r the project.
P ajam as m ay be onc-picce or
two-piece, depending upon the p re f
erence. The one-piece type w ith the
slip-on top w ill save a lo t of w ork
because there need be no b u t
tonholes. There are no fittin g p rob
lems in m aking pajam as because the
only re q u ire m e n t is th a t they be
loose and c o m fo rta b le enough fo r
sleeping. I f you are m a kin g pa

baggy, and the crotch m ust be long
enough. A void m a kin g the pajam as
too long, as they w ill only get wound
around the legs and m ake fo r un
co m fo rta b le sleeping.
The sewing construction in the pa
ja m a s is v e ry sim ple. M ost edges
can be finished w ith the p in kin g
shears, and the seams are plain.
In sewing the legs together, the
best type of seam to use is the flat
fe ll because it is stu rd y and lies flat.
To m ake this, stitch firs t on the seam
line fro m the rig h t side. T rim away
one edge to w ith in one-eighth of an
inch o f the stitc h in g . T u rn the other
edge flat o ver this, tu rn in the raw
edge and stitch the seam fro m the
rig h t side.
