You're too kind. The jimjams do look good and my daughter and grandchild
love them but they are no great challenge and certainly not up to my sewing
exploits of the past. Not that I need to sew like I did in the past now
that I'm retired and don't go anywhere that needs really good clothes.
That is why I so enjoyed your tale - instant empathy.

Oh, I know what you mean. I think back of some of the things I did,
years ago, and wonder if I am the same person. ;-) Not only won't I
sew like that now, if I did, I wouldn't dress like that now! Comfort is
king!

Snap! Nothing has to be too fitting as the body can no longer support that
look at all. But I still havent' finished my excercise to get a decent
fitting camisole so I can wear it under things. Now how hard can that be
for an old trout who is hollow chested, hump backed. big busted and with
skinny arms. I think that project can sit on the backburner now till spring
comes around again in September.

I took the easy way out and got these knitted ones from Vermont Country
Store. Then they offered a slip of the same fabric, so I got some of
those to go under dresses. I absolutely love them. I doubt I could
make them for what they cost, especially when they give me free shipping.
