I bought myself silk pajamas from a Chinese site, and guess what? A month later, my fabric was covered in pellets, and the lace completely fell apart. Naturally, you can’t wear such a holey thing even to sleep. You will say that I didn’t need to save on linen, but I’m used to the fact that my clothes cost me pennies, this is a minus and a plus of my sewing profession) So I bought a piece of Italian crepe and lace and decided to sew myself a set, and as usual I will share with you how to sew pajamas with shorts.
In this master class there will be no complex constructions - the pattern of women's pajamas with shorts consists of only two measurements, everything is easy and simple as usual, and even a sewing teapot can handle the sewing. As a result, I got a very beautiful and delicate thing, which is not inferior in quality to expensive silk sets.
What did I need to sew pajamas with shorts?
My pajamas will be made of thin dress crepe. This fabric is easy to sew, does not slip, and the suede finish gives it a matte appearance, which I love. I received a total check from the fabric salon for 350 rubles.
- dress crepe fabric - 90 cm.
- lace eyelashes - 20 cm.
- elastic for shorts - 82 cm.
- elastic band for top - 33 cm.
- linen straps in the color of the fabric - 2 pcs. or linen tape for straps 80 cm long.
- thread in color - 3 spools
- glue web - 1 m.
Pattern of women's pajamas with shorts without a side seam
In order to get a pattern of your size, you need to take two measurements from yourself: Bust circumference (Og) and Hip circumference (Ob). Towards the bottom, the pattern of the front and back is widened on each side by 5 cm, as a result we get a trapezoid. The shorts pattern is based on hip circumference. The product fits at the waist due to the elastic band.
By the way, I would call this pattern universal, since I used it to sew another beautiful thing in lingerie style - this one with straps.

How to sew pajamas with shorts step by step
After cutting the parts, you can start sewing.
1. Using an overlocker, I overcast the top edge of the front (front) of the top. If you don't have a serger, you can do the same thing by using a zigzag stitch on your sewing machine.
2. I cut the lace into strips and apply it to the upper edge of the shelf so that it fits beautifully, taking into account the pattern.
3. I glue the joints of the lace with adhesive web and connect them using a zigzag sewing machine.
4. Then I sew the lace to the top fabric using a straight stitch on a sewing machine.
5. I sew the top edge along the back of the top. I apply an elastic band to the overcast section and secure it with pins.
6. I stretch the elastic evenly from one edge to the other and sew it on with a zigzag stitch using a machine.
7. I transfer the elastic to the wrong side of the back and sew the elastic on the front side using a zigzag stitch.
8. I place the back and front pieces (shelves) on top of each other with the right sides facing inward. I fasten them together with tailor's pins. I sew the parts with a straight stitch on a sewing machine, then overlock the side sections with an overlocker.

10. I make a seam in the hem. To do this, I bend the hemmed bottom edge of the top 1 cm inward and sew it on with a straight stitch using a sewing machine.
11. I sew the straps to the top using a zigzag stitch, and the pajama top is ready!
12. Now I start sewing shorts. To do this, I lay two parts with the right sides inward and join them on the machine along the middle sections, then overcast them.
13. Then, along the stepwise cut, I overcast.
14. I press the seams and overcast the bottom edge of the shorts.
15. I cut the lace so that there is enough for the bottom edge of each pant leg.
16. I connect the pieces of lace together with an overlap using a glue web, then I sew them with a zigzag stitch on a machine.
17. I attach the lace to the trouser leg with tailor's pins so that the seam on the lace remains inside, where the step cut is located.
18. I sew the lace to the shorts using a sewing machine using a straight stitch.
19. I connect the ends of the elastic band together.

Pajamas are a type of home clothing used primarily for sleeping. The word pajama comes from the Hindi language. It originally comes from a Persian word literally meaning “leg clothing,” that is, trousers. Typical pajamas consist of loose pants and a shirt, but the current interpretation of pajamas has changed somewhat and modern pajama sets can consist of trousers, breeches or short shorts, and the shirt is quite harmoniously replaced by a T-shirt with long or short sleeves.

How to cut a T-shirt for pajamas
To sew a T-shirt you will need: about 0.8 cm of gray knitted fabric 1.8 m wide (a cooler is ideal).
Details of the T-shirt cut are given in Fig. 3. Additionally, cut out a bias strip of fabric in a contrasting color, 4 cm wide (1.5 cm in finished form) and the length of the neck of the back and front. When cutting pieces, be sure to add 1 cm allowances on all sides, 2 cm at the bottom of the T-shirt and sleeves. We recommend sewing pajamas - a T-shirt and trousers - with a four-thread overlock stitch.
Rice. 3. T-shirt cut details
The length of the trousers according to the pattern along the side seam is about 104 cm. The pajama trousers pattern is given in natural size in 5 sizes, you just need to download and print it. We have prepared two formats for you - A0 (can be printed in A0 format at a copy center) and A4 (can be printed in A4 format on any printer, then the sheets must be glued together).
IMPORTANT! The waistline of the trousers is lowered by 4 cm. Take this into account when checking the pattern. Patch and side pockets on pajamas can be omitted.
How to determine your size
Take measurements from the figure and compare them with the measurements from the Table. The main measurement for trousers is the hip circumference. When choosing the size of a trouser pattern, it is also important to take into account the Seat Height measurement. It is the seat height that determines the level of location (depth) of the middle seam. And if the seam depth is insufficient, the trousers will be “shallow” and vice versa.
Compare your measurements with the table and determine your trouser size. Then check the selected size as shown in fig. 2.

How to check a pattern
Sometimes when printing, due to printer settings, the pattern may be forcibly compressed. It is for this purpose that a “test square” with sides of 100 x 100 mm is applied to the pattern pieces. After printing the pattern, first measure the sides of the square and make sure that the pattern is printed correctly.
Rice. 5. How to check your pajama pants pattern
To check the suitability of the size you have chosen (in Fig. 2, size 50), measure according to the pattern:
- Middle seam length: X1+X2
- Waist: X3+X4
- Pants length X5
- Pants width at the bottom: X6+X7
Compare the values obtained with your measurements. Since trousers are made from knitted fabric, the measurements should be equal to those taken from the figure, or have slight deviations up or down.

To sew trousers you will need: 1.2 m of azure blue knitted fabric, 160 cm wide, about 0.9 m of elastic, 3 cm wide, thread.
Hello. Since the last post we have spent time in the hospital. Artem was very worried about an ingrown toenail. At first, our doctors decided to remove part of the nail, but then they changed their minds, and we got away with three weeks of bandages with levomekol.
Next up is my pajama shorts. By the way, wearing such clothes in hospitals is prohibited. Not that I tried, but I read the rules of conduct. Oh well, no matter what, I took them with me, yes.
Since this is knitwear and pajamas, I shorten the pattern on all sides.
Initially, the pattern comes with a one-piece belt of 4 cm. It turns out that I cut off these 4 cm, and another 6 cm of shorts from the waist down.
6 cm, by the way, you can adjust it according to your preferences. As well as the length of the shorts and width.
I give an allowance of 3 cm along the top to the pattern folded along the new lines; I will fold it under the elastic band. I don’t give allowances anywhere else.
On the back half I measure the same values from the edges.
I fold it along the new lines and cut it out.
Why I fold the pattern over instead of cutting it off is because summer is coming and I plan to sew a couple more shorts. So it will still be useful.
I join the seams using an overlocker.
I bend the bottom and top. I leave a hole for the elastic.

Step-by-step pattern for women's pajamas
At first glance, sewing cotton, silk, flannel and lace pajamas for girls, women or girls may seem like a daunting task. But, using ready-made patterns for women’s pajamas with shorts and a step-by-step description of the process, you can easily create a similar wardrobe item with your own hands.
- First of all, you need to take measurements. To do this, you will need 2 elastic bands 50-100 cm long, which we tie at the hips and waist. First, we measure the circumference of the thigh (Ob) at the most convex points and the length of the seat (DS) with a centimeter. We measure the last parameter with a centimeter from the top elastic band to the bottom along the side.
- After all the measurements are taken, a pattern is made for women's pajamas with shorts. To create a pattern for pajama shorts with an elastic band, you will need special paper and a dark felt-tip pen.
- You can sew homemade shorts and a T-shirt or sleep top from satin or choose silk fabric. To make a pattern on a sheet of paper, place a dot on top, marking it with the letter T. From this point downwards we draw a straight line corresponding to the intended Ds. We put point B and add another 3 cm, fixing point H. From point B we put point B up, which is calculated as follows 0.1*(0.5*Rb) + 4 cm. From point B we put 2 to the left and right sides points: B1 and B2. We calculate them in this way - Ob/4 + 2 cm. We draw vertical lines from points B1 and B2.
- Then you need to draw horizontal lines to the left and right from points T, B and H, marking them T1, T2, B1, B2, H1, H2, respectively. From point B2 we move point B3 to the right, counting 0.1*0.5*Rb+1.5 cm.
- From point T2 we count 1.5 cm to the left. This will be point T3. Using a ruler, we connect points T3 and B2 with a straight line. We connect points B2 and B3 with a smooth curve.
- We put 3 centimeters down from point B3, draw a vertical line and put point H3. We set aside 3 cm from H3 and connect the resulting point to B3 with a straight line.
- From point B1 we lay off a segment that is equal to Ob/10. This will be point B4. From point T1 to the right we count 4 cm and place point T4. From this point we set aside 5 cm straight up, drawing a vertical line. We place point T5, which we connect with a straight line to B1. A smooth curved line connects B4 and B1.
- From point B4 we draw a straight vertical line down, fixing point B5. From it to the right we set aside 1 cm and connect it to point B4. At the end, we connect points T5 and T3 with a straight line. This is the waist line. The construction of the pattern is not complicated, so such a simple pattern will be understandable and feasible even for beginners.
- Since we don’t wear sleep shorts at the waist, we need to step back 5 cm from point T3 and connect the resulting point to T4. This way we get a new waist line. Before sewing women's pajamas with your own hands, the resulting patterns must be cut along the contour with scissors.
- We sign the pattern, fixing where the top of the shorts is, the back part and the front. It is also necessary to sign where the middle seam of the back and front is.
- You can make summer night shorts from any fabric that you like in color and feel. Fold the fabric in half face to face. Lay out the pattern parallel to the bottom of the fabric. Leave about 3 cm at the bottom for the seam. We pin the pattern at the bottom with pins. In total, about 15-20 pins will be required to secure the pattern. We also fix the top part of the pattern.
- It is necessary to leave allowances for the seams and at the top. Leave approximately 5 cm for the width of the elastic and seam allowance. We fix everything with tailor's chalk. Along the middle seam of the front and back, you also need to leave 2 cm per seam. We also leave 2 cm along the crotch seams and at the bottom of the shorts. We also trace the pattern along the contours, while cutting out the shorts according to the allowances.
- After the pajamas are cut out and cut out on the fabric with your own hands, we pin the pins, fixing them along the middle seam of the back and front. Remove the paper pattern. Using a machine, we sew a seam along the marked line along the middle seam of the back and front. Iron the resulting seams and overlock them with an overlocker.
- After sewing the seams, iron them again. The seam along the butt needs to be stretched a little to turn it into a straight line.
- Next you need to sew the crotch seam. To do this, we combine the fabric together, secure it with pins, sew it on a machine, then overlock it and iron it.
- When the women's pajamas with shorts are almost ready, all that remains is to process the top and bottom. We start from the bottom, putting 2 cm from the edge on the wrong side. Draw a line with soap or tailor's chalk. We fold the fold along the line, iron it and sew along the edge of the fold with a straight stitch.
- We put 2 cm up along the wrong side, drawing a line with chalk. Fold the edge with the marked line and iron it. From the fold we set aside double the width of the elastic. Since our elastic band is 2.5 cm wide, we measure 5 cm and draw a line. We bend it to it and iron the previous fold. We pin everything with pins and stitch it. Don't forget to leave a hole so you can thread the elastic through it later.
- After everything is stitched, all that remains is to insert the elastic. Measure out the required amount of elastic on yourself and cut it off with scissors. We thread a pin through the elastic and pull it along the entire seam of the shorts. Make sure that the elastic does not twist. Finally, we sew the 2 ends of the elastic together. Straighten the elastic so that it is evenly distributed.
- The pajama shorts are ready. If desired, they can be supplemented with lace or a beautiful insert can be made. In the same way, you can sew pajamas for girls with your own hands using beautiful children's fabric.

How to sew pajamas with your own hands?
You should start sewing with a sketch and drawing. And the pajama pattern is done in three ways:
- Based on old pajama or lounge pants and a T-shirt, tunic, T-shirt.
- Build the foundation yourself.
- Copy a drawing from fashion magazines. Burda Moden, Ottobre, Pattrones often publish homewear and underwear.
Measurements required:
- Waist circumference.
- Hip girth. From 10 cm and more - freedom of fit.
- Length trousers.
- Step length.
- Knee circumference. From 10 cm for loose fit.
- Knee height.
- The circumference of the pants is at the bottom. From 10 cm for loose fit.
- Seat height. About 3-5 cm for loose fitting.
- Saddle length or crotch length. The measurement is taken from a point on the waist in front through the groin area to a point on the waist in the back. About 3-5 cm for loose fitting.
- Blouse length.
- Chest coverage.
- The length of the sleeve.
Pajamas using this pattern will be loose. You can make adjustments, make the trousers more tight-fitting, change the length, change the seat height (to the waist or below the waist).
The drawing starts from the bottom line.
- Length trousers. Draw a bottom line and a waist line.
- Down from Lt (waist line) seat height. Draw the line of the hips (Forehead).
- We measure the height of the knee from Lt. Draw the knee line (Lk).
- From the line Hip Height along the Forehead, set aside ¼ + allowance + 2 cm to the right, and to the left - ¼ About + allowance - 2 cm. Points SP and SS.
- Finding point P.
Formula: Ob/2. Divide the number by 3.8 and round to the nearest whole number. Divide by 3 again and round.
- We find point C. From the value obtained after ½ About was divided by 3.8, subtract the distance P-SP.
- TP+2 cm=t.2.
- T.2+3 cm down=t.Z
- Connect points P and point 3 with a curve.
- TC+3 cm=t.3.
- T.3+3 cm up=t.3.
- Connect points C and point 3 (top) with a smooth line.
Check the length of the crotch line on the drawing with your measurements. Adjust if necessary.
- Set aside the circumference of the knee according to LK.
- Place the circumference of the bottom along the bottom line.
- Connect the crotch seams with a concave line. Check with Dshag measurement.
Transfer the drawing to the fabric and cut it out taking into account seam and waist allowances.
The top part can be sewn according to a T-shirt or according to the tunic pattern below. The pattern is given for a chest circumference of no more than 100 cm. Change the depth of the collar and trim at your discretion. If desired, you can cut the front shelf, stitch the placket, cut buttonholes and sew on the buttons themselves.
The sleep kit is ready.
