Create stylish handmade sleepwear you'll want to wear all day with the Closet Core Patterns Fran Pajamas PDF Sewing Pattern. Combining classic tailoring with a relaxed fit, Fran is a versatile sewing pattern for elegant pyjamas, comfortable loungewear or even a lightweight overshirt.
The Fran set includes a beautifully detailed button-up pyjama top and coordinating trousers. The top features a traditional shirt collar, cuffed sleeves, back yoke, inverted back pleat and a delicate button loop at the neckline. The matching trousers have a comfortable straight-leg fit with a softly gathered elasticated waist, optional drawstring, practical inseam pockets and a back patch pocket.
Designed for intermediate sewists, the Fran Pajamas can be sewn in crisp cotton shirtings for classic pyjamas, cosy flannel or linen for everyday loungewear, or luxurious silk and viscose fabrics for elegant nightwear. The top also works beautifully as a lightweight jacket or shacket in cotton twill or lightweight wool.
