Pajama kilt?

**nab2488** · 9th May 09, 10:28 AM

Me and my girlfriend were chatting about my kilts and I told her about how I would like to try to learn how to make a kilt my self. Well long story short she came up with a great idea. I love to wear my sport kilt all day it is very comfortable. The only time I take it off is when I go to sleep and I put pajama pants on. Well I have been wearing kilts for over a year now and I hate pants. So what about a pajama kilt? Well this brought me to joann fabrics. I found some fleece that has a tartan pattern on it and my first attempt at a kilt will be a pajama kilt. Essentially this is a kilt I expect to screw up but heck I will only be wearing it around the house and this one I can sleep in. Instead of my sport kilt I spent 130 dollars on. Has anyone heard of anyone else attempting this? Or am I going to be a first to make a kilt out of fleece?

I applaud your efforts to make a kilt, and wish you the best of luck, but I personally hate sleeping a kilt. Once I laid down for a nap with my kilt on and when I woke up it had ridden up a few inches and the pleats were all over.

If you hate wearing pants, how about a long night shirt?

See that would be the beauty of this one. It is cheap and soft so I don't care what happens to the pleats. Also fleece does not wrinkle that much if at all. It will just be difficult to pleat. I am thinking of sewing them in like how utilikilt does. Also I fully expect this to be a 50 yard kilt and it would be a way to learn.

Sport Kilt sells a cotton flannel kilt for "lounging" around. It's $50.

I second Beloitpiper. T-shirt (or less) works for me.

Why bother with jammies at all?

Because I live with people I don't want seeing me naked all the time and I am sure they don't want to see it either. Also I hate the feeling of being naked while I sleep.
