Bob Trousers for a Tartan Loungewear Set

I finished these ‘winter pyjamas’ ages ago, but completely forgot to blog them after posting them on the Minerva page (fabric was gifted in exchange for that). Ah well, better late than never!

I both the top, the LB Pullover, and the trousers are tried and tested patterns. I did a post about the top previously, so here’s just the details for the trousers.

Pattern: Style Arc Bobs

Size: 16

Fabric: Brushed cotton from Minerva. It’s really lovely for pyjamas, very soft and drapey.

Adjustments: 1 inch full bum adjustments as with previous pairs. This time I also lengthened the length by 10cms so it's not ankle length - winter pyjamas need to be warm! I should also point out that I had previously shortened at the lengthen/shorten line, which meant completely redrawing the side curve. I didn’t reverse that for this, I just added 10cms on at the bottom

I think this is my best waist on a pair of Bobs yet, I cut the elastic quite tight which I was a bit worried about but actually it means it sits where it's supposed to.

On thing I'm not sure about is the placement of the checks, I aligned them according to the grainline but they're all warped around my legs, not sure what happened! It looks a bit strange but I also kind of like it.

Blogging this so late has the advantage of being able to look back on how this set as fitted into my wardrobe which is excellently! I now rotate my pyjamas between this and my two peppermint loungewear sets, but this gets picked whenever it’s available, because it’s so cosy. The other two are definitely more summer sets.
