This girl pajamas pattern has been in my archive drawer for a very long time, glad that I finally have it written and shared here. I have made the sewing pattern available from age 5 to 12 years old and this time you got to draft your own pattern, hence, there is neither printing nor worrying that if you are printing the pattern in the correct scale. Freak out on drafting your own pattern? no worries, I have this covered as well. I made up a video to show you the sequence on how to draft the pattern so that you won’t lose your way in the process. The pattern sheet also includes the cutting arrangement on the fabric. Visit the pattern & tutorial page to get all the info you needed to sew this girl pajamas.
The fabric I sewed for this girl pajamas is yarn-dyed or color-woven linen-cotton mixed fabric. Linen fabric is comfortable to wear as it is hypo-allergic, highly breathable and has a high moisture absorbency, it is also tends to be long lasting due to its durable fibre.
I particularly love the flap design on the chest of this girl pajamas, it is a double-layered fabric which add warmth to the chest. This thicker flap is especially great for kids with weak lungs and poor respiratory on cold nights.
The pajamas has a drop shoulder cutting so it is easy for pattern drafting as well as sewing up. With drop shoulder design, you don’t have to fuzz matching up the curved armhole shape and the cap of the sleeve.
The cute semi-circle pocket with lace trim is one of the highlights of this girl pajamas. My daughter loves this pocket so much and she named it “little baby mitten” pocket. Oh yes, it does assemble the look of baby mitten when you place the hand in it.
Placing a lace bow on the front of the pajamas pants not only adds cuteness to the pajamas but it also tells the kid which side is the front of the pants.
Please note that the sizing of this girl pajamas are for Asian builds so it could be one or 2 sizes smaller for other races. Do check the measurements on the pattern by measuring the chest and hip of the kid that you are sewing to.
These are adorable…my granddaughter is into retro and these fit the bill!…I also just got a new embroidery machine and think the front flap will lend itself well to that…So the pattern does not include seam allowances, correct?…and should the flap in the front be placed on the fold?…when drafting it, it looks as if it is half as wide as needed…
I am not huge into drafting my own patterns….makes me nervous!
Hi Laura, you are right, the pattern doesn’t include seam allowance, you will need to add it when cutting out the fabric pieces. The front and back are only half the width, the dashed line shown there is the folding side, so, please fold the fabric before placing the pattern pattern on it.
Anyway you’d make this for little people like babies?? This is darling!!!
I also lengthened the pocket and make the opening wider, especially for the smallest size.
PS
I also lengthened the pocket and made the opening larger, especially in the smallest size.
These are exactly the type of beautiful, classic and adorable little girls p.j’s I have been looking for!!! Thank you SO much!! I’m sure my 6 year old granddaughter will love them!! Im going to make her a pair that coordinates with her bed quilt that I’m making and another pair for her house in a pirate theme because that’s what her bedroom is there! Navy & white striped top & red bottoms!!!! Also, I just need to wait for a grandson so I can make the boys’ version as well!! Thx again!!
You are most welcome!! Happy sewing 🙂
This is absolutely perfect! I am so excited to make a pair for my brand new granddaughter, to be born in 12 days! (I have THREE grandsons!) I’m going to make them anyway and have her mommy just hold on to them until she can fit in them. LOVE THEM!
Your patterns are adorable!! They also give such professional looking results! Thank you. I love your knitting patterns as well.
Thanks so much, I am making the shorts pattern (gotta have those pockets for treasures!) in all 3 sizes for 3 GK’s. I added length from the PJ drawings, as their mom likes more modest lengths.
I guessed at the tapering for length, but it would be ** helpful to show a drawing for longer shorts, capri length are popular for girls and surf-length for boys. Mine live in Ca., so they wear these in cottons for PJ’s and shorts year-round. Using a solid purchased T-shirt, I use a shorts piece for a matching pocket or
strip around the chest, etc. Makes a nice set of PJ’s!
