Carolyn Pajama Pattern
Designed for chic lounging, the Carolyn Pajamas are thoughtfully tailored and supremely comfortable.
The Carolyn top features a classic notched collar, curved hem and breast pocket with three sleeve options. For a matching pajama set, choose between a straight-legged pant (with or without cuff) or a cuffed short. Both pants and shorts feature an elasticized waist, pockets and a faux fly. Personalize Carolyn by adding contrasting piping details for an elegant finish.

We Know You'll Love These, Too:
I’m a beginner clothing maker, and found this pattern to be straightforward. I finished my pajamas a few months ago and have worn them almost every night since - love them and can’t wait to make another set!
The instructions helped me learn to see a nicer garment that I am proud to show off. I mastered the French seam and the piping inserts.
Excellent and detailed pattern. Instructions were very easy to follow. I have just made the shorts and wished that I had ordered more material to make the matching top. I love how the shorts and pajama pants have pockets. I will definitely be using this pattern many times!
So this my first ever time sewing from a pattern. Even for a first timer the instructions were so clear and thorough that I was able to make myself a beautiful pair of pajamas! I was so happy with the process that I did the Closet Core intro to sewing course afterwards, and am fully hooked on my new hobby. I can’t wait to make these again and again with new fabrics (and my more refined sewing skills). One can never have too many flattering, comfortable, well detailed, luxurious pajamas!
Pajama top needs darts at the bustline. Instruction guide was excellent! Detailed and easy to follow. I made the size 18 for my daughter. She normally wears a 16 but I chose the larger size just to leave room. The 18 was too small 🙁
