Tada! "No Elastic Fantastic" Pyjama Bottoms

These jimjams were an experiment.  Dad had expressed an interest in some pyjama bottoms but Mum advised that I couldn't put elastic in them.   What???   I had no idea how to get them to stay up, except possibly for a matching pair of braces!   The lovely helpful ladies at Sew Simple in Taverham came up with the solution - tape, which we could cut to the correct length and tie the pyjamas up with.  Genius.  




The fabric is the softest brushed cotton which I found in the bargain section at Knitwits fabric shop in Dereham.   I even bought some for myself in an orange and purple colourway, although I'm still not sure whether I want pyjamas or possibly even shorts for the summer.  I should imagine it's probably more suited to winter clothing - could be a bit too warm for shorts!
