If you are making pajamas to
contrast with the robe, use the
above plan, or if you wish to make
the whole set look as though 1t
really belonged together, do this:
Choose a good sturdy material for
the pajamas in a shade to contrast
with the robe, then pipe the sleeves
and the opening in the front with

the robe.
Gowns and pajamas are best
made in the light or pastel colors,
and should be well constructed to
permit easy launderability. Remem-
ber, too, that these are practical
garments above all other considera-
tions, and should be made loose
enough to be comfortable for sleep

them prevent comfortable sleeping,
and also increase the fussing that
must go into their laundering.
If you are making contrasting col
ored bindings on them you will do
well to baste before you actually do
the permanent stitching, as there
should be no slip-ups which will
cause. fraying later.
Lace and ruff1es are best applied
by hand with small, careful stitches.
Hide the stitching if you really want
the garment professionally turned
out.
If you are making quilted robe,
it's possible to buy material already
quilted. This is then simply cut out
according to pattern and put to-
gether as instructed. "'he thing to
remember here is to tave the gar.
