Pajama Pants Party!

I like to learn in a group environment. I can teach myself a lot of things by reading a book or instructions, but it seems less stressful to have someone guiding me through it. This is where crafting classes at my favorite hipster craft store comes in.

I took a pajama pants class today with a good friend of mine at Fancy Tiger. It was a small class with only two other sewers, who were a hoot. It was three hours long and when I walked out I had a completed pair of PJ pants!

I bought my fabric a few days ahead of time with the intention of washing and drying the fabric first, which of course I did not do.

It's a pretty bold choice for me, but called to me from the shelf and said "I want to be with you when you sleep." It was a creepy conversation to have with fabric, but I'm not one to say no when it's being so direct. 

I pulled my sewing machine out a few days ago and have been working on last months Amy Butler Sew Along bag (I know, I'm running behind. What are you going to do about it?) but my experience level is still on the low side. But after this class and some helpful advice from the instructor, I think I am finally getting the hang of sewing in a straight line!

All in all it was an amazing few hours of crafting with good company. Now I'm all snuggled into my new pants and ready to craft the long weekend away!

Ta-Da!
