my kids give me a hard time because everytime they come over when I am sewing/quilting they say I look like I am ready to go to bed. This is b/c my fav quilting clothes are boxer shorts/t-shirts in warm weather and my sons old flannel pj pants and long sleeve t-shirts in cold weather - all accompanied by my crocs. 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?

Nothing wrong with being comfortable when your sew. What you wear sounds fine to me. I like to wear sweats in the winter and t-shirts and jersey knit pants in the summer.

I am just like you I dress for comfort, even if I know some of my quilting buddies may be coming.

I wear jeans. Pretty much all the time. Jean capris in the summer with a t-shirt. Long jeans in the winter with a sweatshirt.

i usually wear some stretchy comfy jeans and a t-shirt. my favorite tees have all got holes in them or bleach marks cause laundry is not my forte. to me it doesn't matter if i'm in the house. i only get dressed nice if i'm going out

Same here.
:thumbup:

tee shirt and undies....and they don't necessarily match.... slippers for the piggies

T shirt and soft jersey pj bottoms for sewing, cleaning, laundry, lounging.. When I go out to my sisters' or mom's I wear good T shirts and jeans

I wear comfy cloths, no jeans in the house I can't stand them around my legs or stomach and this is a must............no bra. My boobs are big and the straps hurt my shoulders. Funny thing is I wear the same type of cloths during the day that I also sleep in but when I get up in the morning I change. It doesn't make sense to me I could just stay in sweats all day that I slept in. For that matter I could wear them for a week and not shower just put more deoderant on.........ONLY KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!

In the summer I wear knit boxers and a tank top and tshirt. In the winter I wear lounge pants and a tank top and flannel shirt. No shoes or socks.

shorts and t-shirt year round. And sometimes I just crawl out of bed in my nightie and go sew!

jammies are for quilting and dreaming and we do our best work in our dreams!!! I love my sweats they are comforable since I am up and down and jeans just do not work well for my back.

Baggie jeans and a t-shirt, flannel shirt when it's cold.

What else (?) - my diamond tiara and plastic sling - backs...

Tell them to buzz off. It is YOUR house and YOU can do what YOU want.

is that all? :shock:

:mrgreen:

Hey! You stole my clothes!!!

Sounds like the fashion police have arrived at your door. I wear whatever i want to be warm and comfy. Sometimes sweats, PJ, whatever the mood stikes me.

ROFL!

I basically live in sweat pants and tee shirts, during the winter I'll have a sweat shirt on and warm, chewed up slippers. LOL It IS your house, you can wear whatever you want though.

Wear what you want.

I wear jeans, t-shirt and crocs. And if in the winter add a sweatshirt jacket.

It's your home do what you want to. If they don't like it let the door hit them going out.

Most of the time I am wearing my pj pants and a t-shirt. I want to feel comfy when I am sewing/quilting. But I am usually covered in threads and fuzz from fabrics so it really is hard to tell what I have on. Haha!

Latley I just get out of bed and start sewing! so it is eaither sweats and t shirt or shorts.. depending on how cold it is. COMFY CLOTHES!!!!!!!

If I am at home, ripped up jeans and a t shirt, or sweatshirt.....well, I guess I wear that pretty much all the time unless I am at work.

Show off........... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I live in shorts and t-shirts.

When I get in from work, I immediately change into drawstring lounge pants and a soft tshirt.

I wish you could arrange it so the next time they catch you sewing you could be in say, an evening gown or a business suit!

I just wear whatever I have on when I decide to sew...depends on the time of day and what else I've been doing. If it's early in the morning, it's what I slept in...comfy long t-shirt and shorts (or sweats if it's cold). If I've already been out of the house, then it's whatever I decided to wear that day.

We would get along great. I dress the very same way!!!

Be comfortable, I'm usually alone in the country, hubby works away from home, so jeans & comfortable. I learned from a quilt retreat, how many wear an apron, keeps the strings off your clothes, adds a pocket for keeping seam ripper or snips handy. Tried it, liked it, I can run to town and not look like I'm the dust mop now.

In the winter (as much as we get in California) I wear sweat pants/shirts, and any other time, jeans/twills and a knit top, either long or short sleeved depending on the weather. I have to admit, I have had my cup of tea in the morning in my PJs while looking through patterns for the day.

Sounds like we all agree on this.

Jeans, sweats, anything comfortable. I do try to remember to change, if I need to run out to the store, or someplace. More than once, I've realized that I am covered with threads and lint! In the summer, I sew barefoot and in the winter I wear those little slipper socks. Cannot stand to wear shoes when I am sewing.

I have what I call my 'house' clothes, mainly old stained and stretched out tee's, sweatshirts and knit pants. Recently realized that's most of what's hanging in my closet so I'm tossing the really ugly and stained stuff. Replacing them with inexpensive black and navy leggings I bought at Walmart, got the largest size I could find so they hang loose. Now I have to find a few XXXL lightweight sweatshirts to make some really nice house outfits, they also serve as pjs. Only thing I need whenever someone comes over is a lint roller to take off all the sewing threads that cling to me. May in Jersery.

That would be my daily uniform, as well. Flip flops in the summer and jock shoes in the winter.

I wear sweat pants and a sweat shirt in the winter and capris and T shirts in the summer. I want to be comfy at home. Oh....and no bra please.

I wear scrubs. Scrubs to work, scrubs to sew. Sometimes a sweatshirt and flannel pj bottoms. I have an extensive pj collection. My family knows they better bury me in comfy clothes or I will haunt them for the rest of their lives!

OMG!! If I wouldn't wear a bra, I may cut one off with the rotary cutter!!!

Usually jammies till lunch time when I have to go put my teeth in anyway to eat!

doesn't really matter what you start out in...you will be covered in thread snippetts and tiny pieces of fabric when you're done and have to change before you leave the house anyhow!!! :) I say...be as comfy as possible, it's one less distraction!

If I have no place to be for the day, I wear pull-on long or short pants and tee shirt with sleep bra, comfortable shoes and I may or may not put on a dab of makeup.
If I'm clean and not exposed then no one would criticize my dress for home but one time. 8-)
