Yve's entry #2 cotton jersey pyjamas using the TATB Frankie Top and Stella Joggers from the book, Stretch.
These are T&T patterns for me and I've and adjusted the front rise of the joggers to come much higher than the original pattern. I've straightened the bottom hem of the top and taken the obligatory 2" off the length of the sleeves.
If this had been my first experience of stretch fabric, I may never have bothered again. It's very soft and snuggly with a lot of stretch. That makes it lovely to wear but the amorphous feeling, combined with a generous amount of curl made it a pig to manipulate and sew and both machines had their issues with it. I used pins, rather than clips, to control the curl and they kept falling out!
