Carolyn Pajama Pattern - PDF Download
Love the pattern from the start to the end💜
A wonderful pattern for a comfortable, stylish all occasion , versatile dress. Using a variety of fabrics, and altering the length this dress can be worn any time, anywhere....pattern is clear, instructions easy to follow......definitely make this a few times.....
I've decided that Heather Lou is (one of) the best teacher(s) in the indie scene, and that I'm going to make everything she designs. I came to this pattern having made Ginger Jeans, but not a whole lot else in terms of pants/trousers. This was easy to fit, and easy to modify. I have a high rise, so I added 2", which was easy peasy. I've since made 2 pairs of sleep shorts, 1 pair of sleep pants, and used the pattern to make 2 pairs of simple elastic waist shorts for working from home during the hot summer, and 1 pair of rayon pants for casual wear. I added flat piping to both pairs of pants, and I modified the hem so that it's much bigger and starts higher on the shin/ankle. It's a fun look.
Pros: as always, Closet Core nails the pockets. These pockets are fun and easy to sew, and make the PJs so much more functional. It also helps to understand how pockets can be constructed - comparing this method to, say, the Ginger Jeans method. I love this method, and much prefer it to the pocket bag method that Tilly and the Buttons uses in the Marigold pattern. These pockets are nice and big, too, and they add some structure to the front of the pants. Additionally, the styling is classic and the instructions are clear.
Cons: none.
To be fair, I haven't made the top yet, so I should update my review once I do that, but I plan on doing so soon! Maybe this weekend! I want Heather Lou to teach me how to make a notched collar and a button down placket!
Made a few friends really happy by sewing them Carolyn pajama bottoms as a present. So easy and fun to sew.
These r just the perfect PJ's and great instructions
Love the pants. I actually followed the instructions and have a great product. Now to tackle the top...
