Very easy to sew nightwear
What is nicer than cool cotton pj's? These are fabulous to make and even a total newbie can make them
Do read on and discover how you can make some too
The fabric is 100% Cotton poplin and it is currently only £6.99 metre
The pattern is Butterick 5792
Both are from Minerva. Com this is the link to all my Minerva posts
There are only two pieces to the top or dress and you will need bias binding to finish the sleeve and neck edges. It is incredibly easy to make your own.
All you need to do is to cut strips of your fabric on the Bias and then thread them through one of these binding makers
This sells well at craft fairs by the way.
A matching binding is very nice finishing touch, but there is nothing to stop you from making a contrast binding
My finished binding
The pants again are easy to sew, do make sure that they are not too tight, or they will be very uncomfortable
I added a small bow centre front so that I instantly know which way to put them on!
Cotton is a good choice as it is a natural fibre and stays cool.it washes well and becomes softer with each wash
It is such a nice change to have PJ'S which are not the usual long straight pants with a shirt top. These are modern, fun and easy to wear.
Thread a wide elastic through the waist channel but do take care with fitting, as I said these need to be comfortable all night
I purchased some Floral cotton Jersey and made a nightdress from the same pattern
This has a contrast binding around the neck edge and the armhole edges were overlocked and turned in and top stitched
These pj's are so cute and I hope that you make some.
