It's not my sewing circle, it's *our* sewing circle Yesterday's post about the velvet coat I plan to make got me thinking about how much I'd like to find a community web site for sewers where posts like that really belong, so I asked for suggestions of such sites on AskMe. I wound up joining My Sewing Circle. If you sew and want to join, you might also consider joining the "MetaStitchual" group I've set up in their sewing circles section.
I wonder if sewing is something I could learn. I am getting really tired of shopping for pants and shorts and not finding anything that's cut right.

I am sure you could learn to sew if you tried! Just take it slowly and start with an easy project.

Pajamas. That way if they look a little askew it won't matter.

Sure, drawstring pajama bottoms are about as easy a project as you can get.

Ooooh, this is good. I have a lot of lovely stretchy soft lilac rayon I bought for a song a few years ago but never used it. PJs would be perfect for some of it. (This very week, I'm going to make myself a simple circle scarf from a strip of it, too.)

Handy PJ tip: my favorite drawstring pajamas also have a lightly elasticized waist so the drawstring isn't the only thing holding 'em up.

I blame Marion Cotillard || Which "Harry Potter" scenes did Daniel Radcliffe film while drunk?
