Great project to improve my beginner-ish sewing skills! I learned about French Seams, Piping, and the notched collar :) They really make the PJs a level up from my prior attempts! Instructions were so nice to follow - and because it is a popular pattern you can find tips/video if you aren't sure. I love the shorts/top together - but also separate. Can't wait to make more! Thank you :)
The Pattern was so easy with Lauren’s sew along. First time I did buttonholes and piping turned out so cute. Thank you! I love when you can find sew-along video for patterns.
I have made these in long, short, with piping and without - I love them! One pair I made as actual pajamas, but I wear them out in the world as well: the long shirt and pants in linen are dreamy and look great for casual wear. Someday I will make a dressy version for a more dressy look.
I have only seen these made up. I have not been able to get my pattern to printer yet. I plan to make a few sets for myself once I have a summer break from teaching.
This was first time making these pyjamas and I love them, I okan on making many more.
I’m a beginner clothing maker, and found this pattern to be straightforward. I finished my pajamas a few months ago and have worn them almost every night since - love them and can’t wait to make another set!
