No photos this time as DH and DS have taken the camera with them on their hols. While they are away camping and canoeing down the River Wye I have taken over the lounge to do some sewing.
Poor DH hasn't got a pair of pyjamas that fit him. He has never had a pair of pyjamas that fit him properly since he was 17 years old. Pyjamas for 'normal' height men leave him with a cold back, cold ankles and cold wrists and he looks like Worzel Gummidge in them. However - I have a cunning plan : )
I am going to make him 4 pairs of pyjamas - 2 cotton ones for Summer and 2 flannelette ones for Winter. The cutting out begins today. I have adapted the sewing pattern for hugeness ie. added 4 inches to the length of arms, legs and top. I have washed and ironed said material to pre-shrink it cos its all 100% cotton. I have ironed said material - 4 x 7 metres. Now for the cutting out!!!
Watch this space - I may be back later with vile expletives and weary wailings LOL

Good luck with the cutting. :)
I'm curious - are you working on a table or the floor? Cutting out is the worst part for me because I have to lay out and cut on the floor, which means my dodgy knee just can't take the strain.
I have a cutting table. It folds out to 1m x 2.5m and is the right height for me standing up : )
You are welcome to pop over and use it anytime but its too heavy to lend out.
It is on wheel soo so it cn easily move around wherever I want it.
*looks envious and adds cutting table to list of why will have to pop over one day*
I don't think I have enough space in my tiny living room for a table that folds out that big, so you're safe from me trying to 'borrow' it. ;)
