I love my new PJs!

I recently had an urge for a new pair of pajamas. I bought a paper copy of the Carolyn Pajamas several years ago - before I learned not to cut the pattern. I didn't really think I would like the fit of the new Fran Pajamas, so I considered ordering a new copy of the Carolyn Pajamas so I could tweak the fit. However, after looking closer at the new pattern (and looking at all the Instagram pictures), I decided to try the Fran pattern, and I'm so glad I did. I love the look and fit of the new pajamas. I don't really "lounge" in pajamas, but I'm considering a new habit. My measurements fit within the small range -- I do have a short torso, so I shortened the top by 1". I compared the finished measurements to a nightshirt that fit well, and made no other changes. I worked really hard to get a perfect loop for the small top button, and then forgot to use it (but no going back). I also love the burrito method for the yoke. I'm thinking of a flannel shirt using the top pattern and maybe some pants from the bottom pattern. Overall, it's a great pattern.

Fantastic Pattern

I made a set in beautiful linen from Merchant and Mills with a Halloween costume in mind (that could double as lux pajamas). The fit and details are perfect. The instructions were easy to follow and really thorough with links to videos. Couldn’t recommend more!

Definitely Doable!

As a mother daughter bonding idea we signed up for a sewing class at our local sewing shop where we were introduced to the Fran PJ pattern and the Closet Core pattern company. The final product is very comfortable to wear and we learned a lot about fabrics, techniques thanks to the printed instructions and the online tutorials. For a first project we would recommend not using a fabric that has such an open weave as we did.
Five star review if we could include the internet tutorials and other resources for the burrito yoke method.

The Pyjama for 2025

The Fran Pjs…I’ve made various pj patterns and this is my new favourite. It’s stylish and on trend..slightly wide leg, longer cuffs, flattering neckline and it has pockets!
Easy to follow instructions so the pjs came together easily. Sizing was spot on….

Great Pattern

Made the top of this pattern as a kit from Guthrie and Ghani in a lovely linen cotton fabric as a summer top. The pattern is oversized as a pyjama so I would probably scale down in the future for a blouse, but it was a really enjoyable make. Really appreciated the support videos and extra information on your website were very helpful. Thank you!

More then just pj’s

I have to admit, I wasn’t interested in making pj’s. Then I saw what could be done with the pattern to make it into day clothes. Then I had to have it. I’m currently working on a group of items to mix and match, the pattern is so versatile

Love this pattern

First time pajama maker here. I had a great time with this pattern. Just challenging enough - very satisfying!

Comfortable with pizzazz!

This was a fun pattern for me to make in a darling Tilda fabric. I haven’t sewn much clothing for the past 35 years, and the instruction book is concise and thorough! I especially love the “kick” the inverted box pleat brings to the pj top. A new favorite!

Gorgeous!

So comfortable. So stylish! I'd be happy being seen in these PJs when putting out the bins, usually a no-no for me.

Love the easy make of this pattern. I up cycled a vintage sheet in yellow and white stripes and can’t wait to wear them! Will definitely be making many more sets of pjs!

Classic, Versatile, Gorgeous

So many things to love about this pattern. The design details, the clear instructions, a generous hem, the size range and the 1.5mm/ 5/8” seam allowance which enabled French seams and flat felled seams - if you wish. A versatile pattern that could be used in multiple ways. Highly recommended.

Veste sublime!

J'ai eu un coup de coeur pour le haut. J'en ai fait une surveste en velours. Elle est magnifique! Les explication sont vraiment bien!

Will definitely make multiples!

I really like this pattern. I made one size down form my measurements, totally wearable but will go for recommended size for my second. Could not get the gussets to work. Just for reference I am 5’9” and it is a great length on me (I normally lengthen shirts by 3”, but not this one)
