Fall Wardrobe: PJs

September 8, 2010 By crafterhours 14 Comments

First up in my series of fall wardrobe sewing: the essential pajama!
Just a simple pair of pjs, made from one of the cute ribbed knits in this pile.  I made a ringer shirt with long sleeves and thick wristbands, then just traced an old pair of pj pants and lengthened them for the bottoms.  Easy as can be, and finished within an hour, including the time it took to trace new patterns and cut the fabric.  I’m never spending $16 on kids’ pjs again!
Now I just wish my younger daughter didn’t have way too many of her older sister’s pjs so I’d have an excuse to make some for her!

    Great pajamas, very cute! And about those pj’s for your youngest? Just stop doing laundry for a little while and then you suddenly really need new pajamas. Really :D

    I remember making thermal-knit ones like this–I was so proud when the pants turned out proper as I had traced them from an existing pair (never did that before) and they became my favorite! Something about the snug fit made them much more comfy to sleep in.

    Sweet! So cute and definitely more afforadable. I have been wanting to sew some pjs for my little boy, you have inspired me to try it :)

    Great idea! I hate buying pjs for my daughter. I have to remember this idea for later fall sewing :)

    Is it really cheaper than $16 per set of pj’s to buy knit fabric? I always cringe at the price of cute knits!!

    Ya know, that’s how Linds ended up with stitches beneath her bottom lip. Didn’t your mother tell you Zoe, “NO jumping on the bed!” :-) BTW…cute jammies on a cute Zoe. xoxo

    I couldn’t believe how quick it was to make the either.
