Description

All my pajamas are falling apart and I haven’t had a matching pair for several years. So I decided to kill two or rather three birds with one stone; Make myself a matching pair of pajamas, make my first pair of trousers and make my first item with sleeves.

For the top I used burdastyle’s free Pete t-shirt pattern. The sleeves were easier than expected although something went a bit wrong under the arms. My side seams and sleeve seams do not agree. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that my printer always prints burdastyle patterns half a cm out. The test box is 9.5cm rather than 10cm. Anyone got any suggestions for this?

I’m really happy with the trousers. For a pattern I used an old pair of pajama bottoms which had gone into holes all around the waistband. The waistband of the pair I made is elasticated with a small blue bow sewn to the front to look pretty and remind me which is the front.

I couldn’t resist taking some really cheesy themed photos of these creations with the help of Humphrey.

      Thanks. The fabric is a cotton jersey printed with a repeat of two sheep and some lambs. Very appropriate for pjs. Have to be careful to get all the pattern pieces the right way up though, I didn’t manage on the sleeves, opps!
