This book looks great. I would love to have it.

PJs are fun!
What an awesome collection to the sewing repertoire!
I would love to win this book as I could use it in the classroom where I teach in the fashion design department at a community college in Tucson.
We did "Wild Pajamas" for a summer project and we had a lot of really cute designs!

What a wonderful book to 'win' right before the holidays! I could use a new pair of pj's!

This looks like a great book!
Looks like a fun book.
No one can have enough PJ's. I would love to have a copy for my library. I teach my 3 nieces sewing and I think they would find it a blast.
It's getting cold here - snow this weekend... New PJ's will be wonderful! I'd love to win - thanks for the give-a-way!
would love to win this giveaway - just in time for holiday giving! How about me?
PJ's are always great for lounging and make fabulous gifts. I still remember when my Grandma made PJ's for my cousins and I one Christmas. They were flannelete nightgowns for the older girls (6 & 7 year olds) and 2 pc for the younger ones. All from the same print! With the inspiration from a book like these surely I could make some PJ's my daughter and daughter-in-law would love!
I'd like the pajamas on the cover. Love the colors and the pattern!
Since I love to give presents with a personal touch, this would be a great book to have for holiday gift-making. Nothing is more comfortable than cozy, cute PJs! (And these certainly look cute!)
A book on PJ's? Would love to win it! I'm sitting in mine now, and I could definitely use a new pair! Happy Holidays!
oh, pjs, my favorite clothes. A mall here in SLC is having a pajama party tonight, and that's almost enough to get me to the mall on Black Friday!
So many want to win this book and SEW DO I!
Hi, this books looks fantastic and takes PJ's for the whole family to a different level!
Have a wonderful 13year old fashion conscious daughter, who loves a variety of nightwear.................this has to be the book to impress her.....and just in time for Christmas too.
Hi, Happy Holidays everyone!
I just got out my warmer PJs and noticed how thin the flannel had become. Time to make some new ones and this book would be perfect. Love this site.
Last year my resolution was to fill my entire wardrobe (undergarments included) with things made by me. So far this is going pretty well but I've started to notice that my sleepwear isn't nearly as fun as it could be. This book looks really cool.
Me too, me too!
Ooo! PJs!
How cool! I would love to revamp some of my pajamas with something a little more fun :)
I love pretty PJs!
I laughed when I read the comment above re nighware made one xmas from her grandmother as I have just finish 6 lots of nightware, nighties for the older girls and pjs for the two younger ones, all in satin (3 different patterns) all with piping and they look gorgeous.
When all else failes, you can always make P J 'S......
There are some nights when nothing makes me happier then the perfect pair of PJs!
I live in Indiana, inspires me to make pajamas similar to those beautiful silk ones Katherine Hepburn wore in her movies! This one's going into my library--Good luck!
I love sleep. And looking good while I sleep, even better.
I love wearing beautiful PJs around the house when I'm 'in' for the night.
a stitch in time sleeps fine...pj's to shine...wish the book will be mine
PJs for all my familly!! Even a beautiful nightgown for me...and my boyfriend for sure ;)
Ahhhhhhhh, eye candy for the night. Thank you!
Oh, MY!!! I do NEED this book for new sleep wear!!! Sorry ladies but this has got to be mine (GRIN)
Now all I need is a cup of coffee and this book!
I'm planning on making all of my friends and family pajamas for Christmas. This would be perfect for inspiration!
I would definitely use this book. My teen loves to lounge! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
It's 11:42 and I finally uploaded a picture I can stand to use, not the one I wanted but dears, my pj's are so dead as to be absolutely shameful, therefore; I should win!
Actually I would have posted it earlier except that I lost this site and chased around looking for it 'til I used the search engine.
I can't wait for the drawing! I am sitting on pins and needles. :)
I would love to make pajamas for my grandson, and the pair shown look perfect!!
Making lingerie has been my goal this year. From making - and fitting - bras for all four of my daughters, to sewing beautiful pajamas, I'm learning so much and having so much fun. I have never seen this book before, but it sounds very intriguing!
