I LOVE JAMMIES. Winter I sew in jammies or sweats. Summer lightweight jammies or tees and soft shorts. I could be happy living in jammies in the house. Sometimes I get up, shower and put on clean jammies for the day in the winter if I know I am not going out and no company expected lol.

I don't get dressed either unless I have some plan for the day. Making up for all the years I was up and ready at the crack of dawn.

I sew in my sleeping shirts and barefeet. Very relaxing and fun, for me.

sounds like you all think like me--COMFORT. When I retired out went the suits and heels and in came the shorts, jersey pants, sweatpants and lots of Tee shirts.

Anything that is comfortable. Usually shorts and tank top in the summer and sweats in the winter and never any shoes although I may wear a pair of socks in the winter. I cannot sew with shoes on!

I wear jeans a lot when I go out, but not for when I am quilting. Too binding. I love the sweats. And they hid a lot of my muffin top too.

Most comfy is the loose fitting simple house dresses (from patterns) I make for myself with fabric on sale.

I keep telling them that is is imperative to dress to feel relaxed to sew. They think I am just too lazy to get dressed? Do you have a favorite sewing apparel?

Yes, I have a pair of flannel pjs which are a beautiful deep turquoise and yellow print. Had them for a few years, now. They are so comfy, warm yet light weight. I wear them in the summer if the AC gets too cold. They're my fav outfit. Have a few rips from a rambunctious lab puppy, missing a button, and some clorox bleach stains, and I love them.
I must go to Kohl's for a backup pair. Don't know what I'd do without those clorox pjs.
I'm making a red, white and black with a touch of creamy gray quilt for a teenage grandson. I didn't think it was going to be so great, but it's turning out nice.
Happy sewing.
