Martha has expressed concern that poor Tristan has not seen any recent benefit from my sewing. Don’t worry Martha, he may be lacking in clothes to wear out of the house but he is definitely winning the pajama race. Poor Katrina has only two long sleeved nightgowns made so far so they are in quick rotation augmented by whatever I can find in her drawers when both nightgowns are dirty. Tristan has all of these pants plus one pair I just need to pull the elastic through. The pair with rocket ships was the prototype — I based the pattern on a shorts pattern and altered it significantly — and they ended up a little too short. He wears these to bed with an undershirt but if I find some long sleeved shirts on a clearance rack somewhere he would be warmer. Although, he is under that quilt so he might not need long sleeves after all.
