PAJAMA TOP AND PANT

Kid's Pajamas

 

                         

Make your own pattern by placing your kid's well fitting shirt or top like this and trace the outline on a paper. Now double fold the fabric like the image shown below, there should be four layers of fabric and pin the pattern paper to the fabric such that the long straight line of the pattern should be pinned to the folded side of the fabric (left side), and cut the fabric out.

                             

After cutting it should look like this when you open it up.

 

Trace the sleeves like you did for the top and pin it on the fabric such the the fold line is along the folded part of the fabric, I did the cutting for both the sleeves at the same time, so I placed two folded fabrics on top of each other.

                             

Make a slit for about 4 inches along the midline of the front piece for sewing the buttons and button hole. Cut two rectangular pieces of fabric for about 5 inches long 2.5 inches width.

                             

Take one rectangular piece fold in half along the lengthwise and sew it along the edge of the left slit, now tuck the strip inside and make a top stitch along the length of the strip, your left side would be completed after this, for the right side slit take the second strip and fold it as shown and sandwich the slit between these two folds and stitch it.

 This is how it should like after finishing the neck part, trust me the tricky part is over and now all you have to do is attach the sleeves and sew along the sides of the body and hem the bottom of the top and neck.

PAJAMA PANT

Place the pant on the double folded fabric and trace the pant the folded side of the fabric should lie along the straight line of the pant not the crotch side.

After cutting this is it should look like.

                          

Sew along the length of each leg and join the crotch part.

                         

Pin the edge marked as 1 along the edge marked as 2.

                               

This is how it should look after joining the crotch part, now attach the elastic for the waist band, place the elastic along the waist line on the wrong side of fabric fold it sew it, and hem the bottom of the legs.
