Wonder if it would be nice in a woven?  It says moderate stretch.... a nice cool cotton appeals to me....

You're right Fran, when I think about it, the stuff I wear to bed, is a similar style to what I wear day to day.  :|  Yoga pant style bottoms and loose t shirt type tops ..... 

Sorted, I must have this pattern.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

For me I was thinking I'd like it in a sweater-knit style fabric.

Just bought some that is like a boucle texture, but it's already earmarked for a raglan pattern.

I've got four HPs but never plucked up the courage to use them  -<

To me both the HP and the Vogue one look to be too big for the 'model' they are on. 

Comfortable for wearing in bed maybe, but I don't think I'll be buying either of them.

I think it could be really nice in a very light knit fabric for the summer. Might add it to my vogue wish list and see if there's any fabric in the local shop.
2018 fabric used 12m.
2018 wardrobe items completed 6.

Please people, listen to Auntie Fairy.  DO NOT buy HP, bin the ones you have.  Style Arc do the same sort of easy living, modern clothes, but the patterns WORK.

Please.

Please.

Ignore at your peril :( :( :( :S
