Sew Liberated

£13.95 – £20.95

Buy the Nocturne Pajamas sewing pattern from Sew Liberated. Bring beauty to your loungewear drawer with Nocturne – a moonlighting top and pants set that takes you from daytime adventures to nighttime cosy, depending on your fabric choice. With a touch of whimsy in its details, Nocturne shines in drapey fabrics that flow freely around your body, as well as in sturdier fabrics such as cotton flannel, yarn-dyed cotton, and linen.

The top features gathers, a V-notch at the neckline, and a slight high-low hem. Choose between three sleeve lengths. You can also lengthen the top into a darling tunic or nightgown.

For the pants, you have two waistband choices. View A has a high rise with a paper bag detail at the waistline. View B has a lower rise that sits below the natural waist and has a standard waistband. Both views feature elastic in a casing at the waist, straight legs that can be pegged and rolled up, and optional side seam pockets.
