Pajama kilt?

[Aldisimo]

Ah, I remember now.

Barb quoted it from Bart in a kilt about his first kilt he made.

Have you ever woken up and found you had wrapped the covers around you? That's what I think a pajama kilt would feel like.

If I were doing this, I think I'd experiment with a bath towel or something. You could wrap it around you kilt-style and pin it on somehow, and try sleeping in it. I;m interested in hearing how this turns out.

I sleep in my birthday suit. Always have. But... for evenings around the house, watching movies, etc., I've got a Sport Kilt "Comfy" (flannel) and LOVE it!

The last time I fell asleep in a kilt, I woke to find that part of me had won 1st prize in some sort of contest. don't:blue_ban: me

I bet you got a blue ribbon.

I've read about at least one person here who made their first DIY kilt out of flannel for practice and to have a lounge kilt. Good luck and post pictures!

Jimmy Carbomb actually had a pajama kilt idea going a few years ago. He worked out some deal with a retailer and that was the last that was ever heard of it.

I've slept in my PK MarPat and sport kilt a few times and it's really not that bad. It's usually when I expect to be having to get up in the middle of the night to check on the kids (storms, nightmares, illness,...) and don't want to have to fumble around for something to put on. I can just roll out of bead and head down the hall. The kilt does crawl up, a lot and I find the kilt sticks to the sheets so I actually turn inside the kilt when rolling over. I'll get up and the kilt will be askew but no problem, no one else is seeing in the dark.

I wouldn't do it in a "traditional" tailored kilt or one with buckles but a velcro adjustable so you can loosen it a little is fine.

When you make the kilt, don't cut the tops of the pleats out. Just pleat it up and run some stitching through it and you can remove the stitches and restitch it over and over until you get the fit you want. I don't think I would even bother sewing the pleats in like UK. Just a few from the waist down a few inches and let the rest hang. Your going to bed, not a dinner party

My first attempt at a kilt with a "plaid" was a flannel kilt so I could practice lining the darn stuff up before building a nicer one. I found it to be a great lounging kilt, it looked awful, but was comfy. I didn't find it great to sleep in, but then my husband accuses me of aerobic sleeping, I think I just toss a bit. Anyway, between my usual tie up with the sheets and blankets, the kilt just aggravated the situation. It however made a nice transition from PJs to Birthday suite sleeping -- which saves on laundry. Unfortunately that cats were a little to interested in the loose threads, and one day when I left it on my bed while I was at work, they took apart the straps... it wasn't worth fixing.... but with this talk, I might make me a new one after I finish my painters kilt (White duck canvas -- so it is washable and bleach-able)
