Asmita is sharing her new pajama set made from the Camp Shirt<\/a> and Lisboa Shorts<\/a>. Her selections are amazing and create a garment that works both in and out of the home!<\/em><\/p>\n

This has been a year of several firsts for me, starting from making my first ever proper night suit, to making a halter top (Enmore), and most recently, shorts. I was quite excited when the Lisboa shorts pattern first came out because I have only recently discovered the comfort of shorts and this shorts\u2019 pattern with a simple elasticated waist seemed to be a good low-stakes pattern to sew my first ever pair of shorts.<\/p>\n

While it is nice to have a pattern that is full of details, and teaches you a new sewing technique, or some complex design detail, the advantage of a one-scissor pattern is that it can be simple enough to be styled in varied ways. That is exactly what I decided to do with my Lisboa shorts. I decided to make them as part of my pajama shorts set.<\/p>\n

Size details and modifications<\/h3>\n

Based on my measurements (W 30-31\u201d, H 41\u201d) I made a size 12 toile. This turned out to be way too large. Keeping an eye on the finished measurements is a good idea in this case as the shorts are quite roomy in the thighs. I made a size 10 for my final version, with only two modifications: shortened the crotch length by \u00bd\u201d and reduced the width of the waistband to 4\u201d to get a small paper bag effect rather than the intended one. Usually, I need to shorten the pattern because I am 5\u20194 \u00bd\u201d but in this case, I did not need to. I used the 5\u201d seam length. I wasn\u2019t sure if to add pockets at all but ultimately decided to keep the front pockets. Like most people, I think I would choose to have pockets over no pockets any day.<\/p>\n

The top is the Camp shirt in size 4A. I have made a bunch of modifications to this pattern<\/a> .<\/p>\n

To get some cool vibe I used some expensive linen from my stash. The selvedge simply says \u201cEuropean shirting linen\u201d; it crinkles nicely, and I like to think that it gives the overall dress an especially nice look.<\/p>\n

The thing that took the longest time was trying to decide whether I wanted to add piping to achieve a more \u201cpj\u201d look. After much thought, I decided to skip it entirely, and instead added a running stitch using cotton embroidery thread in all the places where I was hoping to add piping. I feel that the effect is subtle but quite lovely.<\/p>\n

Plus, it gives me the added advantage of wearing the top and the shorts separately, and even venturing out of the house in my shorts should I choose to.<\/p>\n

I always like to think that I have learned something new when I make a new garment. In this case, I feel what I learned was to rethink how to wear two basic me-made items from my wardrobe and style them in ways that I would not have otherwise. The Lisboa shorts and the Camp shirt worn together definitely give a fancy pj vibe but worn separately, don\u2019t necessarily remind me of the other, and I think therein lies the beauty of a well-made garment.<\/p>\n
