flannel......

ok, so we have broken out the flannel sheets........now that the temperature at night is consistently below 40 or so.....and the domino effect has kicked in.......my current favorites pajama bottoms are flannel.......and there is the rub.....flannel on flannel doesn't move.....at all.......and thus i was forced to craft a classy pair of smooth cotton bottoms.......out of a remnant found at my favorite home decor store.......i am sure that this fabric was intended for lightweight drapes......but the red and green paisley print is quite nice as pajamas go........the fabric that appears in boxers.....from the gap, for example......is not readily available to martha stewart wanna-be's..........so we have to make do with what we have got........the trip to the fabric store has inspired me.....i think i might make another duvet cover for the feather comforter........there was a really nice past season ralph lauren with big earthtone roses on a black background............that is the nice thing about sewing......that duvet cover will cost me about $30.....not including my time...which is priceless, by the way.......but such minimal expense allows for more frequent change of home decor........as long as i stay within the confines of the exisiting paint/wallpaper/carpet.........
