![]() ![]() How do you feel about matching loungewear? Is it something you would wear? How and where would you wear it? My biggest question is whether or not I would wear matching loungewear out and about during everyday activities. I guess the point of loungewear is actual lounging though, so I will certainly wear these together during those times. I have been wearing it around the house all day today. The comfort level of this outfit is unreal. They kind of remind me of the blush velour sweatsuit I owned in middle school and I’m still trying to decide whether or not that’s a good thing. ![]() While I’m satisfied with both pieces individually, I’m still not sure that I’m sold on wearing them together. ![]() Perhaps I’m just making up for years of wearing sweats that look like I’m expecting a flood. It probably has something to do with the fact that nearly all rtw sweats are a few inches too short for my legs. I only needed to add 3″ to the length, but I prefer my sweats a little extra long. When cutting and sewing the Hudsons, I made a size 10 with the only alteration being an added 4″ in length. My background in quilting is what drew me to the fun geometric lines of the Geodesic and I think it made the construction a little easier as well. I sewed up a size C/D with no alterations in the Geodesic and it all came together rather quickly. I decided to purchase the True Bias Hudson Pants pattern ( here) and the two together make a perfect pair. I knew that I would use the Geodesic pattern because I already owned it and had been planning to make the longer version eventually (see my cropped version here). The wheels in my head started turning and I came up with the idea of a matching mint colored loungewear set.Įmily’s lovely mauve french terry inspired me to check the Raspberry Creek Fabrics Etsy shop where I found this solid dark mint french terry. I had spent a few weeks puzzling on how to execute my Squidward costume until I was in Denver and Emily made this Blueprints for Sewing Geodesic Sweatshirt. I’m sure my parents were delighted when it finally broke). In the sixth grade I even got a Spongebob alarm clock for Christmas (It sang the “F.U.N.” song to wake me up and was a real treasure. Part of me was rather proud as I was a Spongebob fan back in the day. Way back in August, my son decided that he wanted to be Spongebob for Halloween and requested that I dress up as Squidward. ![]()
