Another Practical Christmas Gift for Me

you can't see in the photo, but the pattern also makes shorts and pants

I tend to ask for and welcome very practical gifts. In addition to asking for shearling fleece inserts for my slipper-shoes for Christmas, I also asked for some flannel fabric to make myself some new winter pajama pants. My last pair has become so holey that I think they may verge on obscene. (thankful for bathrobes) 

Here's the fabric my daughter gave to me. Nice isn't it? A gray background with an all-over, white leafy-tendril pattern, She also bought the elastic that I'll need for the waistband. I have plenty of thread that will work as well as the pattern (one that I've now used 5 times). I look forward to my new sewing project for next week.
