When it comes to sleepwear, any old t-shirt will do. But sometimes it's nice to have a little something special to wear to bed...and around bed-ish times. It can be nice to have something a bit more covered up or presentable to wear when houseguests are about...or teenagers share the house...or when we are the houseguests...or just because. There are lots of places to find fair tees + elastic waisted bottoms that can be worn to bed, but here are a few brands putting some special care into more specifically pajama-type clothing:
coyuchi :: organic cotton :: GOTS certified
domi :: organic cotton :: GOTS certified
fair indigo :: organic cotton :: fairly made in peru
lacausa :: made in usa
la relaxed :: made in usa
maison du soir :: made in usa
pact :: organic cotton :: GOTS certified :: fair-trade factory
pansy :: organic cotton grown + made in usa
richer poorer :: organic cotton :: made in usa
Pajamas could also be a wonderful beginner (or not so beginner) sewing project. Again, there are lots of ways to think about pajamas...a tee or tank with loose shorts or pants...or leggings...a robe or a sweatshirt or a sweater. We can sleep + lounge in whatever we choose, but here are a few indie patterns that would work well in this category.

I'd imagine that I'm not the only one who often relegates less than presentable tees or leggings to the sleepwear pile. This is a great way to use up our clothing. Another common way we unwittingly exercise our ethical creativity is to borrow...say from our partner's side of the closet. Some even find some lovely thrifted options (silk pajamas?). There are lots of fair options for sleepwear. Take your pick + sleep well! :)
