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!
The instructions helped me learn to see a nicer garment that I am proud to show off. I mastered the French seam and the piping inserts.
