Sew yourself a set of pyjamas you'll actually look forward to wearing with the Closet Core Carolyn Pajamas PDF Sewing Pattern. This downloadable sewing pattern includes everything you need to make a classic pyjama set, with plenty of options to customise your finished garment. Whether you're making cosy winter sleepwear or lightweight summer pyjamas, Carolyn is a versatile pattern you'll come back to again and again.
The Carolyn pyjama top features a traditional notched collar, a curved hem, breast pocket and your choice of three sleeve lengths. Pair it with straight-leg pyjama bottoms, available with or without cuffs, or opt for the matching cuffed shorts. Both the trousers and shorts include an elasticated waistband, practical pockets and a faux fly for a polished finish. For an extra touch, add contrasting piping to create a classic, tailored look.
Designed for intermediate sewists, this women's PDF sewing pattern is a rewarding project that introduces a range of garment sewing techniques while creating comfortable sleepwear you'll wear for years. It works beautifully in lightweight woven fabrics such as cotton lawn, cotton poplin, brushed cotton, linen and lightweight flannel, allowing you to create pyjamas to suit every season.
As a digital PDF sewing pattern, your files are available to download after purchase, so you can print your pattern at home or use the A0 copy shop files and get sewing whenever inspiration strikes.
