if you keep things for long enough

I first blogged these pyjamas back in 2007.  Having cut them out in 2005.  But not having assembled them until 2007.  What happened there?  Why didn’t I construct them when I cut them out? I can’t remember for the life of me! Clare never wore them – by the time I sewed them together, she’d outgrown them.  But I kept them, and Stella is only too happy to wear them now. Hooray!

Happy to wear them, but not happy to oblige me (or Clare) with beautifully posed photos. Instead, we get these.

I do seem to remember that the fabric came from Lincraft – I think a one of their Japanese florals, which they still tend to do. As for the pattern, I’ve just rummaged through my stash and can’t find it, which is most unusual! It may have been a Butterick one. Anyway, the combination of short sleeved top and 3/4 length pants is a practical and pretty one. So glad that they are finally being worn!
