Scraps from the Past - Summer Pajamas in White Seersucker

The Pattern: Simplicity 4006 (1961)

These cute pajamas are 60s slim! I especially like the short summer length, with their "cabin boy" or "clam digger" length pants. It's inspiring sleepwear fashion!

 

The Scrap: Still attached to the pocket pattern piece, and tucked in the pattern envelope, was this fabric scrap. Although stained with age, this square bit of white seersucker is still soft and feels perfectly light and comfortable for summer.

I can picture it! :)

Resort Fashion - Don't Forget Your Clam Diggers!

These 1951 tapered pants are a high fashion way  to make a stand on the beach! Called clam diggers or cabin boy pants, they are also simply called - short slacks. ;)
