Traditional Pyjamas Sewing Workshop
Create your own beautifully tailored traditional pyjama set in this enjoyable sewing workshop. Using the Carolyn Pajamas pattern, you'll learn techniques for sewing classic sleepwear that is both stylish and comfortable.
Designed for chic lounging, the Carolyn Pajamas feature a timeless notched collar, curved hem and breast pocket, giving them a polished, professional finish. Choose from a selection of sleeve options and create either straight-legged pyjama trousers (with or without cuffs) or comfortable cuffed shorts. Both styles include practical pockets, an elasticated waistband and a faux fly.
During the workshop, you'll be guided through garment construction techniques including collar application, pocket construction, sleeves, waistbands and achieving a neat, professional finish. For an extra touch of luxury, you can personalise your pyjamas with contrasting piping details.
