    Me too but mine are cotton nighties, I wear them all the time at home for comfort due to a tummy problem but most of all because of THREADS! My ordinary clothes get covered with thread bits and even with the help of a lint roller it is so hard to get rid of all the bits. At our Patchwork group last Wednesday the ladies had a good laugh at me as I had a black pure wool jumper on, after a short time it looked as tho' I had been snowed on

    Sweats and mocasins (sp?) are the preferred dress around here. They're warm and comfy. If I have to go out, jeans, sweater and walking shoes. I change back into sweats when I get home from work. I'm usually cold, so I can keep the heat set lower when I have my sweats on. Shorts and T-shirt during the summer.

    My home attire is sweats and sweatshirt. I was suited and booted (love that phrase) for decades, and even my dress casual is more casual. Classes I wear jeans (when I can fit into them), and a nice top in the cooler weather, summer, I wear capris and a tee shirt, and flip flops.

    I dress casually and comfortably when at home and when I am sewing.

    When I am sewing/quilting at home I wear my "quilting outfit" (according to the kids!). This is a very thin, lightweight top (cotton/lycra mix) which is very loose and baggy, over very lightweight leggings with a very loose elasticated waist. Thanks to Primark, this outfit is cheap as chips, and I don't feel guilty if it falls apart!.

    It lets me move around and bend properly if I have to use the floor for laying stuff out/cutting. I also wear a pair of cotton "slippers" which I made from a pattern free on the internet. They are lightweight but protect my feet from the worst of the pins! I have a pair of baggy jogging bottoms (sweat pants) that go over the top of the leggings if I am cold in the nether regions, and likewise an old baggy fleece top if I am chilly further up.

    I wear sweatpants and sweatshirts in the winter at home. In warm weather I wesr those work out capris and flip flops. If I go to a sit n sew for the guild I'll wear jeans or a "dressy" sweats outfit. I'm retired, don't care how I look at home, don't put on make up unless DH & I are going out for dinner. After years of having to be professionally dressed I'm into comfort now.

    I would wear PJs if the DH didn't make fun of me!! My Mom always stayed in her PJs unless she went out in her later years and the DH always makes the comment that is must be genetic - lol.

    SO ... I usually wear a pair of jeans and a tee shirt - no bare feet for me as my ankle and foot bother me so I do the next best thing - I wear my Chacos !!
