And yes, I am drinking wine… in the morning… in my looooounge wear
I saw this fabric in I think June and I HAD to order it to make some snuggly pjs or something despite it being super hot at the time, lol. And finally today it’s got cool enough to enjoy, yey, it’s soooo soft and snuggly and comfy, double yey.
And finally… arty shot of the fabric dimples that Mr Loops made me include.
Fabric:
I used lilac dimple fleece from Pound Fabrics but they don’t have it anymore cos they sell out of the cute fabrics pretty fast, but I’ve seen it around all over the place
Pattern:
I used the Teen Spirit pattern by George & Ginger for the top, it’s one of my fave top patterns (I’ve made it at least 5 times now I think), plus it comes with a hood but I didn’t have enough fabric for that, bah!! And I used the SOS Knit Pants pattern by Patterns for Pirates for the trousers, which is a great pattern (I’ve used it once before) but perhaps wasn’t the best choice for these just because it’s more of a [stretch] jeans type pattern with a yoke on the back and such, so next time I would prob use just a wide-leg trouser or pj pants pattern.
My DIL sent me a baby quilt to finish off and the backing was the same Minky. A bear to quilt with, I ended up paying someone to quilt it, but it came out soooo cute. there were a lot of extra bits from the edges and I’ve used it for little baby stuff, kitten blankets (we foster kittens several times a year).
You look so comfortable and adorable. and yes, wear what you want at home. That’s what home is for!!!
My cat steals any piece of Minky he can get his teeth into. He’s pulled it from top shelves, out of boxes, from hidden places (to me, nothing is hidden from a cat). He drags them all over the house. I swear he even opens rubbermaid tubs to get at the stuff…in a closed off room.
Oh, minky fabrics are super! I’ve always seen them used for plushies and blankies…but your use of it for lounge wear is awesome! You totally rocked this

I agree…I love minky but don’t like to sew it much…it is so soft! The dimples are such a nice feel, too…I bet you could get away with wearing the top out…it is so cute!
