Suggested fabricsThis pattern was designed especially for woven, light to medium weight fabrics like cotton lawn, poplin, linen or ramie. It would work well in fabrics that are as light as a cotton voile or double gauze but would also look great as an outerwear set made in medium to heavy fabrics like cotton drill or canvas and even a soft denim.

Fabric requirementsAll calculations are on a single lay. If you want to cut your fabric on the fold, increase consumption by 35 cm (0.4 yd) for all sizes.

Shirt: 115 cm (45″) wide fabric: 1.85 - 2.65 m (2.02 - 2.90 yd) // 150 cm (60″) wide fabric: 1.56 - 2.14 m (1.70 - 2.34 yd).

Shorts: 115 cm (45″) wide fabric: 0.96 - 1.14 m (1.05 - 1.25 yd) // 150 cm (60″) wide fabric: 0.51 - 1.08 m (0.56 - 1.18 yd).

Trousers: 115 cm (45″) wide fabric: 2.38 - 2.55 m (2.60 - 2.79 yd) // 150 cm (60″) wide fabric: 1.21 - 2.55 m (1.33 - 2.78 yd).

Sizing: UK 6 – 28 (approx. UK 6 – 30, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer's size chart and finished garment measurements.

This pattern was drafted for someone who is 170 cm (5'7") tall.

Paper Theory patterns generally have a very relaxed and oversized fit and bust cup size is not as important as total chest measurement. Many people who regularly make full bust adjustments or small bust adjustments for other pattern companies find they do not need to with Paper Theory patterns if they are within two cup sizes either up or down. As a rough guide, shirt sizes 6 - 18 are drafted for a C cup, and sizes 20 - 28 are drafted with a D cup in mind.

Notions: Thread; fusible interfacing; 32 mm (1 1/4") wide elastic for the shorts/trousers; 5 buttons for the shirt, 24L (15 mm/5/8") but slightly bigger or smaller would be fine.

PDF pattern includes: Instructions; A4/US letter print-at-home pattern (59 pages); A0 copy shop pattern (4 sheets); US copy shop pattern (4 sheets) // Layers: Yes // Projector file: Yes.

Good looking pajamas without the fuss

It's true what they say: these pajamas are a breeze to sew. What no one mentioned is that many pieces are laid out on the fabric at 180 degrees to one another. If you have a directional print, it would be difficult to have it going the same way on your pieces. After a moment of panic, I realised the flowers on my fabric were pointing in all different directions anyway so I could rotate the pieces around as needed and it looks fine.

I made a top and shorts. I had no idea how much I needed pajamas shorts in my life. I made a second pair of just the shorts. Then a pair of pajama pants in linen. It takes about half an hour to make the shorts. I know I'll make more. The first set are in a floral cotton.

Pyjamas of joy!

I’ve been lusting after this pattern for a while but not buying it, trying to convince myself I had PJ patterns. But this is different. So glad I did buy it.

It’s a great shape. I don’t know how such simple shapes can be great but Tara of Paper Theory has done it again.

The top is dolman sleeves loose fit and the shorts are 2 pieces. Although I was very tight on fabric so my shorts do have side seam.

I made size 10 ( measurements put me between 10 & 12) and used 2m of 140cm wide fabric. I did some serious Tetris to fit it all on!

 

its cotton lawn from John Lewis and feels lovely for PJs.

Fab pattern in fab fabric. Perfect combo.

I’m  tempted to use pattern for denim jacket too.

I made a shacket from a PJ pattern

Probably not what you were expecting to see when looking at a pyjama pattern! This pattern is so versatile - I've seen so many lovely blouses that I thought I'd jump in the oversized jacket bandwagon and give it a go as a shacket.  This cord is lovely and soft and I originally thought I'd make trousers with it, but after sewing a pair of PJs for my mum with the Agnes pattern and really enjoying the construction, I felt a sudden inspiration to make a shacket in pink with the PJ top pattern. So I went for it before I could change my mind

Cutting this pattern out is a breeze - cutting is my least favourite part of sewing so I'm always happy to cut as few pieces as possible. The cutting layouts use a single layer of fabric, so no folding needed. And the top has grown on sleeves - you cut the bodice and sleeve together so it's all one big piece.

I cut the size 16, although my measurements were more of a 12-14. I thought it'd give me the extra ease you need when making a jacket. I probably could have just made the 14 as it's a bit big.

As well as being easy to cut out, the jacket was a lovely sew. The instructions are really clear and given there's a collar, it's a straightforward sew, whether you're making PJs or a jacket. It's definitely a quicker sew than other PJ patterns I've tried as the methods it uses are less fiddly.

I've written a longer review, with some reflections on sewing with cord, on my blog - you can read it here: http://sewslowsarah.com/2022/02/05/paper-theory-agnes-pjs-hack-a-shacket/
