I don't know how to tell those ladies from 1955, but if my husband got what he wanted when he got home from work it wouldn't have any thing to do with his stomach! :lol: Have men changed from 1955 too?

missgigglewings 10-26-2010 04:58 AM

I wear thread magnets!

If I followed the good wife quide my husband would go into shock and have a heart attack. I wear jeans and t shirt when I decide to get dressed out of my night clothes.

Tudey 10-26-2010 05:38 AM

Sweats and a tshirt, some comfy slippers work for me!

deema 10-26-2010 05:40 AM

Pj's.

:lol: :lol: :lol: If I followed the "Good Wife Guide" my DH would go back out the door to make sure he came home to the right house! Then he would pack me right off to a doctor. Actually it might be fun to do it once just to see his reaction. BUT just ONCE. :wink:

I wear my stretch capris and a tee shirt.I am also usually barefooted.

AnnT 10-26-2010 05:56 AM

I wear clothes for comfort when I'm at home - no matter what I'm doing...going out, I'll put on my decent jeans and a knit top.

rustqlts 10-26-2010 06:19 AM

Usually muumuus and birkenstocks; maybe put on mismatched socks in cold weather :)

You must be my missing twin. I take off the shoes to work the foot peddle though.

donnahbm3 10-26-2010 06:28 AM

You sound like me. I thought I was the only one who wore boxers. They are so comfortable. My grown kids hate them, but, oh well. I only am able to quilt on the weekends, so i start as soon as I get up and don't stop until bedtime on Sunday. Do you think I am addicted? LOL

JoanneS 10-26-2010 06:39 AM

It depends on the weather. Jeans & turtlenecks + sweatshirt or sweater when it's cold, and I get cold easily. Shorts & tees in warm weather. And I always wear shoes - don't want to step on pins!

My jeans are SO comfortable (old enough to go to Goodwill) - ditto the turtlenecks, sweatshirts and tees - that I really have to change into something else if I have to run to JoAnn's or the LQS fo thread or something.

If I'm clean and not exposed then no one would criticize my dress for home but one time. 8-)

What's a sleep bra?

Good Idea.

Pretty fancy Nancy :)

MarilynLouise 10-26-2010 08:16 AM

I usually go to the sewing room when I first wake up in the morning. My robe is covered with thread!

jbj137 10-26-2010 08:21 AM

Whatever I darn well feel like wearing.
Don't complain or I might get naked.

Arleners 10-26-2010 08:28 AM

I've tried to go more formal, but the pearls keep getting caught on the pins when I'm sewing. Also, panty hose just attracts too many threads.
sigh.
Actually, I prefer a flannel nightgown and fuzzy slippers.

Sheree from Chicago 10-26-2010 08:29 AM

I like to sew naked. LOL

It doesn't make sense to me I could just stay in sweats all day that I slept in. For that matter I could wear them for a week and not shower just put more deoderant on.........ONLY KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!

That is too funny. I thought I was the only one who felt like that.

seamstome 10-26-2010 08:34 AM

My sewing room is ungodly hot. Something about being in the peak on the southern exposure. It will be 95-100 degrees in there.

Anyway, in the summer, if nobody is around I quilt in a sleeveless teeshirt and panties. The rest of the year, I usually wear a teeshirt and shorts or thin PJ like sweats. No shoes ever. And nothing ever that feels tight.

patdesign 10-26-2010 08:38 AM

whatever when the mood strikes me, but mostly crop pants and T shirts or jeans and tops.

EagarBeez 10-26-2010 08:42 AM

Wear my robe and pj's mostly, sometimes loose fitting pants and shirt. I too, am not a bra person. Only DH and myself, kids are in another state

I like this answer! I wear what I want, and it isn't always pretty. And I tie my hair back too. Very unflattering!

I thought I was the only one that can't sew with shoes on. I walk around with one shoe on and one shoe off.

LOL...that's me, even at the quilt shop for classes. I run around with one she on and one shoe off!

I agree with this response as well......there just isn't a specific uniform required for creating!

My 17 year old granddaughter never wear matching socks because that way she doesn't have to mate and fold them. I say, what ever works for you go with it!

salsalady 10-26-2010 09:03 AM

i wear comfy sweats usually. but the only time i have company is when im in my flannel pj's all day lol :oops:

Margie 10-26-2010 09:16 AM

I LOVE JAMMIES. Winter I sew in jammies or sweats. Summer lightweight jammies or tees and soft shorts. I could be happy living in jammies in the house. Sometimes I get up, shower and put on clean jammies for the day in the winter if I know I am not going out and no company expected lol.

quiltluvr 10-26-2010 10:02 AM

I don't get dressed either unless I have some plan for the day. Making up for all the years I was up and ready at the crack of dawn.

I sew in my sleeping shirts and barefeet. Very relaxing and fun, for me.

maggiemuggins 10-26-2010 10:03 AM

For me shorts and t-shirts in warm weather and flannel pj pants and t-shirt in cold and maybe flannel pj top over t-shirt if cold...bare feet or socks.I am retired now and don't fuss much about how I look ...yeahhhhh

sltiffee 10-26-2010 10:13 AM

Night-O Day around the house in cool weather, sweats or flannal lounge Bottoms & t-shirt. warm weather knit shorts and a t-shirt. No Bra... Going out of the house Bra, T-shirt and usualy Jeans. Always dress for confort sence I'm retired and don't work anymore.

ka9sdn 10-26-2010 10:21 AM

sounds like you all think like me--COMFORT. When I retired out went the suits and heels and in came the shorts, jersey pants, sweatpants and lots of Tee shirts.

Just kidding. Whatever it is........always comfy!

PattyJean 10-26-2010 11:05 AM

Anything that is comfortable. Usually shorts and tank top in the summer and sweats in the winter and never any shoes although I may wear a pair of socks in the winter. I cannot sew with shoes on!

chaskaquilter 10-26-2010 11:14 AM

I wear jeans a lot when I go out, but not for when I am quilting. Too binding. I love the sweats. And they hid a lot of my muffin top too.

megs0863 10-26-2010 12:15 PM

Most comfy is the loose fitting simple house dresses (from patterns) I make for myself with fabric on sale.

I keep telling them that is is imperative to dress to feel relaxed to sew. They think I am just too lazy to get dressed? Do you have a favorite sewing apparel?

Yes, I have a pair of flannel pjs which are a beautiful deep turquoise and yellow print. Had them for a few years, now. They are so comfy, warm yet light weight. I wear them in the summer if the AC gets too cold. They're my fav outfit. Have a few rips from a rambunctious lab puppy, missing a button, and some clorox bleach stains, and I love them.
I must go to Kohl's for a backup pair. Don't know what I'd do without those clorox pjs.
I'm making a red, white and black with a touch of creamy gray quilt for a teenage grandson. I didn't think it was going to be so great, but it's turning out nice.
Happy sewing.
