About this pattern

Making PJs should be just as easy as wearing them, like this cute floral combo by Corinne Bradd – which even novices will love. Cotton is a really manageable fabric and will make the shorts super comfortable, and it's a great opportunity to try making your own bias binding. If you aren't a fan of elastic waistbands, thread a length of decorative ribbon through the channel and knot at each end for a waist-tie.

Essentials

  • Printed cotton, 1m
  • Lightweight fusible interfacing
  • Bias binding, 2.5cm wide
  • Elastic, 2.5cm wide
