Kids give pajamas
'nod' at 4-H exhibit
Judy Cleary, Jewell County 4-H
Club member, exhibited a pair of flan-
nel pajamas at the Kansas State Fair.
Her entry added to the appearance of a
pajama party, formed by the exhibit,.
Judy's entry earned a purple rib-
bon. The pajamas were exhibited at
the Jewell Corn Show.
"Pajamas are a good starter project
for beginning home sewers," said
Eleanor Blomquist, iongtime 4-H cloth-
ing construction judge from Saline
County who also judged at the Kansas
State Fair this year. "The designs are
simple, there are few pattern pieces
and much of the sewing is straight
seams," she said.
The fact that fit is not critical with
pajamas also can speed the sewing
process and the simpler sewing projects
such as pajamas do not require high-
tech sewing machines. An older ma-
chine with a good straight stitch and
zigzag can be used to create a durable
garment that will withstand many
washings.
