Ultimate Pyjamas
Sew Over It

Ultimate Pyjamas
The Ultimate Pyjamas are wide-legged with a flattering, generous fit that sits snug to the body with an elasticated waistband. With only three pattern pieces, they are quick and simple to make, suitable for beginners. Recommended fabrics include light to medium weight wovens like cotton lawn, brushed cotton, cotton fleece, flannel, seersucker, rayon, or quilting cottons.

💜 purple PJs 💜 #soipjparty @sewoveritlondon . I spontaneously decided I need more glamorous loungewear and PJs 😇 I saw that @sewoveritlondon had this as a theme right now, and got inspired to make my own. . This is the #soiSylviaRobe plus #soiUltimatePyjamas - both are super comfy and were so easy to make. I had this thin viscose fabric in my stash and it was just enough to make both of the garments from it. . Now it's time to relax ☺️ . #sewOverIt #memadeOutfit #sewingLoungewear #memadeEveryday #handmadeEveryday #sewingLove #sewingPattern #instaCouture #sewingPyjamas #memadePyjamas #selbstgenäht #nähLiebe #jeCoudsMaGarderobe #cousuMain #handmade #handgemacht #diyFashion #selfishSewing #sewComfy #sewCozy

We made ourselves some extra special PJs and even a dressing gown using our sewing patterns and we're ready to tell you all about it in our latest vlog! Find the link to our YouTube channel in our bio 🎥🧸

[#Ad] Sundays are made for lazing around in pyjamas, made even more comfortable when the PJs in question are a comfy linen blend! . I picked up a pair of linen blend pyjamas in Australia a few years ago and making a similar pair has been on my to sew list for ages - they’re light and breezy because of the linen but also warm enough for me to wear as the winter approaches/eases. . So I was thrilled when @minervadotcom gave me the chance to make something in their exclusive linen viscose - I knew exactly what I had to do! . I made up this fun set in the ‘Jungle Dreamer’ pattern, using the @sewoveritlondon Ultimate Pyjamas for the shorts and trousers and the @truebias Ogden Cami for the top. . Minerva kindly gifted the fabric to me in exchange for my post, which is up on their website now (link is in my bio!). #MinervaMakes #MinervaBrandAmbassador #MinervaMakers #sewistsofinstagram #sewing #sewsewsew #isew #instasewing #madebyme #diyootd #handmadeootd #ootd #midsizestyle #midsizesewist #soiultimatepyjamas #sewoverit #soishowoff #imakemyownclothes #sewingismysuperpower #psimadethis #thehandmadeparade

✨Ultimate pyjamas✨ I made these definitely-not-pyjamas from a pyjama pattern and wanted to share more about them. So here are all the details. Any questions please ask! *Pattern details* Brand: @sewoveritlondon Available in pdf and kit *Size details* Available in U.K. 6-30 My size was from an old pattern so the sizing is different, I made size small which is equivalent to 10-12 *Adjustments* I graded in from the hip to 2.5cm in either side at the waist as I was using a stretch fabric so didn’t need as much extra fabric. Took off 5cm from leg length before cutting out. I’m 5’4” *Fabric details* Stretch velvet jersey from and unknown brand bought from a destash If you think this sort of pattern round up is useful let me know as I can continue to do them for everything I make this year! #sewoverit #soiultimatepyjamas #sewingvelvet #sewingstretch #ilovehandmade #wearhandmade #jeportemagarderobe #sewingismysuperpower #ethicalootd #heytheremaker #psimadethis #memadeeveryday #makerssupportingmakers #memadewardrobe #diyfashion #sewingforbeginners #lockdownsewing #sewfrosting #millenialsewing #indiesewing #sewinginreallife #sewhappycolor #lockdownsewing #fabrichaul #brightsewing

Term has finished and I have - at very long last - been able to get my sewing machine out. Just a quick pair of @sewoveritlondon Ultimate Pyjamas for myself, in cosy fabric from @flojofabrics. I had to match the waist band - at least on the vertical! - despite the scrappy buttonholes, the match has to be done. I have missed sewing so much! I’ll squeeze in as much as I can in between revision for an anatomy exam and some family visits next week, before term starts up once again and the machine returns to hibernation status…. #soiultimatepyjamas

This is my entry for the #craftypjparty #craftysewandso. I was planning on making the Alderley cami but I couldn't find the pattern anywhere. So I changed my plans and used the #soilibbyshirt with the #soiultimatepyjamas from @sewoveritlondon I also brought this #cottonpoplin from them too. I am not sure if I did the collar correctly but it is functioning and it looks OK to me so I am happy with it. 😁 Thank you @craftysewandso for encouraging me to sew up this make. It is my very first #pj set I have ever made. I will enjoy wearing this for years to come.

A lovely end to a miserable and COVID-y week, is a new pair of pyjamas. These are a pair of @sewoveritlondon ultimate pyjama bottoms and a @helens__closet Gilbert top in a Liberty poplin from @fabricsgalorelondon I love them, I’ve never had a full set of proper pyjamas like this before! I even made an eye mask to match! I’ve made loads of the pj bottoms at this stage, they are also one of my go-to gift patterns. However it was my first time with the Gilbert top pattern and although it’s the darling of the internet, at the moment it’s not love for me. I don’t know that I love the shape on me and the bust darts came out at least an inch too low! However, the instructions are fab. While I love the flared sleeves, I’ll have to see if they ride up and irritate me during the night, in which case I’ll adjust them. As it’s a new pattern I’m entering it to the magam see along with the January theme of jungle-entering the jungle of new patterns! #ultimatepyjamas #soiultimatepyjamas #gilberttop #handmadewardrobe #fancypjs #sewingpjs #firstmakeoftheyear #imakemyclothes #magamjunglejanuary #magamsewalong @suestoney @sewing_in_spain @fourpatchtextiles

My favourite pattern company are celebrating their 10th birthday this month and have asked people to share their favourite makes. I came across @sewoveritlondon when I was trying to work out how to sew together the pattern pieces for an unfinished garment that I'd inherited from my Mum. I ended up watching lots of their tutorials and sewalongs on You Tube while working out how to attach facings, sleeves and pockets. I successfully finished that garment and was inspired to buy a pattern. The first thing I made was an Eva skirt from an old curtain. I later joined their stitch school and haven't looked back since. I think it's really helped me get through the last year. Finding a new hobby and creative outlet has been so important to my mental health as I've been living alone and shielding, trying to work online full time while dealing with a chronic illness. Sewing and connecting with the sewing community online has felt like a lifeline. I've found their patterns fit me really well, the style fits with things I like to wear and the instructions are easy to follow (plus there are lots of sewalongs available to help with tricky bits). I found it really hard to pick a favourite make but this my Emma dress, which I made through stitch school last year. I made two of these and have worn them a lot over the winter, great for work and really comfortable. I've also put together a collage of six other makes that I've worn/ love the most. So Happy birthday to Sew Over It, thanks for helping me get through this last year. Enjoy your celebrations and here's to the next 10! 🥂🎉 #SewOverIt10 #soiemmadress #soiultimatepyjamas ##soiwhitleytop #soizadieblouse #soiediedress #soibettydress #soistitchschool #lockdownsewing #chronicallysewn

Happy 10th birthday @sewoverit ! I learned to sew at a Sew Over It course a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back ever since. I made these #soiultimatepyjamas shorts on that weekend course and although I’ve gone on to make bigger and better garments, I still get enormous pleasure from seeing them in my wardrobe, wearing them and being reminded of my sewing journey! They are simply my favourite make 😍 #sewoverit10 #sewoveritlondon #memadeeveryday #memade #sewoverit10

November 2020. Garment number 23 I've finally taken photos of the items I made at the end of last year. This was a straight forward sew. I made a @sewoveritlondon Lucy top as a alternative pyjama top to go with my SOI ultimate pyjamas. I usually make a size 12 in jersey tops but I did this as a size 14 as I wanted it to be a bit baggy for comfort.

Final Easter post! I made my fifth pair of ultimate pyjamas - 2 for me and this is pair 3 for @andrewbrookes84. I got these out of 2m of wide fabric and they probably only took just over an hour to sew. #dressmaking #memade #soiultimatepyjamas

As is now tradition, I made @andrewbrookes84 some lounge pants for Christmas, using #sewoverit ultimate pyjamas pattern. Fabric was from Joann during our US road trip! ⬅️ for the comedy shot #soiultimatepyjamas #madewithjoann #sewoveritlondon #dressmaking

Lockdown Day31 I sewed us all pajama bottoms last night. Girls' Harry Potter theme pjs made from @madebyrae #moonpantspattern without the elastic on the ankle but they love them flared and have requested daytime pants in same style. Love this pattern! So quick and easy. Mine are the #soiultimatepyjamas in size S but I stuffed up, had to cut the side seam off and resew, so probably shaved an inch off sides? They still fit over my big bum but the waist is a bit high? Why are pants so hard

Me made May Day 25 and it’s a pyjama party over at @sewoveritlondon this weekend. If you have made some of our pyjamas then share them this weekend to win an exciting sewing prize 🎁🥳 After the celebrations yesterday pjs are the only thing I want to be wearing 😵💫 here is a picture we took last week in the office when I shared my ultimate pyjamas in a lovely bright cotton poplin I got in the sale from @sewmesunshine.uk and a trusty bilberry t-shirt in cotton jersey. #memademay #soipjparty #soiultimatepyjamas #soibilberrytshirt #midsizefashion #midsizestyle

Another sewing project - Viyella jim-jams… and they’re soooo cosy! Trousers are #soiultimatepyjamas with pockets borrowed from the #carolynpajamas pattern. The top is one of my faves - the #wikstenshift but I’ve used the gathered back yoke from the dress version and left out the pockets. Is it bedtime yet?!

It was our first Christmas as husband and wife so I decided to go full cheesy mode and make us matching pjs. I cheated a bit and bought the t-shirts and just added the pocket. I’m quite happy with the result and so is Rob! Pattern: @sewoveritlondon #soiultimatepyjamas Fabric: Festive cotton @myfabricscouk

Did you know Joann ship to the UK now?! I bought this fabric to make some more PJ bottoms for @andrewbrookes84 for his birthday. It went a bit bobbly in prewash but they look good and are super comfy ❤️ #dressmaking #soiultimatepyjamas #soishowoff #sewoveritlondon #sewing #memade #christmassewing

@andrewbrookes84 loves his latest pair of lounge pants! I bought this fabric when I first started sewing. I was told 2.5m fabric was ‘way too much’ for full length trousers, but found out the hard way that’s not true when it’s a) 45 inches wide and b) directional! Still not over it all this time later 😂 #soiultimatepyjamas #dressmaking #isew #memade

It’s been a while since I sewed anything but today I finished this Libby shirt by @sewoveritlondon which I am using as a pyjama top to go with my ultimate pyjama bottoms #soilibbyshirt #soiultimatepyjamas #sewoveritlondon #weekendsewing #sewersofinstagram #handmade

I made these @sewoveritlondon Ultimate PJ bottoms a few years ago (in fact they were the first pair of trousers I ever made and only my fourth garment ever!) but I haven’t worn them much as a) I didn’t have a PJ top to go with them and b) they didn’t have pockets (I made them before I learnt how easy it was to put in-seam pockets in to a garment like this!) Both those issues are now fixed! I unpicked the side seams and popped a couple of pockets in and then made an @itchtostitch Visby Top from a lovely snuggly french terry that I bought from @sewoveritlondon a while ago. The nights are still pretty cold at the moment here in the UK so these PJs will do me nicely for the next month or two before summer arrives. #sewoverit #sewoveritlondon #soiultimatepyjamas #soiultimatepjs #itchtostitch #itchtostitchdesigns #itchtostitchvisby #visbytop #frechterryfabric #brushedcottonfabric #memade #imakemyownclothes

I took part in the amazing charity sewing event organised by @sewoveritlondon this week called @thebigsewoff where they sewed non-stop for 24 hours to raise money for the mental health charity @mindcharity . As well as donating money, all the clothes made are given to another amazing charity called @giveyourbest.uk who support refugees with clothing. I decided to make these Sew Over It Ultimate Pyjamas in this fab snuggly cotton flannel that was gifted to me by @minervadotcom . The fabric is so soft to the touch and just the right weight for a garment like this. It washed well in the pre-wash and didn’t lose any of its vibrant colours. The fabric is called Dancing Lights and is super fun, it would look great at Christmas but is also not so Christmasy that it wouldn’t work at other times of the year too. It’s part of the Minerva Core range so is available on all sorts of different substrates too. I think a party dress in the viscose challis version of this would look amazing! I’m now off to list these beauties on the Give Your Best platform and I’m sure they’ll be snapped up in no time! #MinervaBrandAmbassador #MinervaMakes #MinervaMakers #MinervaCoreRange #SewOverIt #SewOverItLondon #SOIUltimatePyjamas #TheBigSewOff

I threw together a pair of @sewoverit #soiultimatepyjamas shorts this week over two less than one hour sewing sessions to try and shift so sewing cobwebs. Just missing some ribbon to thread through to tie a little bow. Fabric felt like brushed cotton but I cannot remember when or where I bought it. #millenialsewing

A finished item! A pair of pyjamas made using the @sewoveritlondon Ultimate pyjama pattern for the trousers and @helens__closet Gilbert top for the top. Fabric is embroidered double gauze from @minervadotcom I've used these patterns before for pj's and they're a perfect combination with double gauze. Also added an appropriate label. #walessews #sewover50 #memadeeveryday #gilberttop #soiultimatepyjamas

Merry Christmas from our house to yours. I hope however your day went yesterday it was filled with food, comfort and happy moments Since I learnt to sew I’ve enjoyed creating a tradition of making matching pyjamas for us all. This year I bought the fabric from @1stforfabrics and used cotton poplin for the bottoms and a pointelle fabric (super soft) for the tops I used the @sewoveritlondon ultimate pyjamas bottom pattern for Ruby, Lola and myself. I made the smallest size for Ruby and scooped out an inch from the crotch and side seams and for Lola I made the smallest size, scooped out 2 inches from the crotch, took 2 inches off the side seams and shortened the pattern piece by 2 inches. For my husband I used the @tillybuttons Joe pyjamas pattern For the tops I used my favourite @faye_studiojepson patterns: the Mini KLP for Ruby and Lola and the KLP for my top. For James I used the @faye_studiojepson rider T-shirt. As I was using plain fabric I wanted to identify whose top for whose so I decided to appliqué an initial on our tops using a festive fat quarter from the latest @sewhayleyjane box As a parent of a child with autism Christmas Day our day included pockets of opportunities for quiet and yesterday this meant a drive and a walk. It was a lovely day with routine still very much part of our day and one of the reasons we try to stay at home for Christmas Day [Image description: From left to right: Liz, Ruby, Lola and James are sat in their front room. They’re all smiling and wearing matching pyjamas. Their tops are grey and have a navy letter appliquéd on them and the bottoms are white with Christmas houses on] #KLPTshirt #MiniKLP #SOIUltimatePyjamas #SHJSewingSubscription #SewingJoePyjamas #JoePyjamas #1STForFabrics #CottonPoplin #ItsAllSewChristmassy #ChristmasPyjamas #IMadeThese #SewingForFamily #TheBakerThatSews #RiderTShirt #StudioJepsonPatterns

July 2020, garments #10, #11 and #12 This is my french seam practice project. It was also my first time making something on the bias. I accept it is a bit matchy matchy but in the short term I don't care and once I get to grips with knits I'm planning to do a grey jersey top and leggings so I can mix and match and then I'll have two sets of pyjamas to go with my dressing gown. 😊 All patterns from @sewoveritlondon. Top is #soialderleytop a bias cut top , shorts are #soiultimatepyjamas both from #soistitchschool, though I did french seams in the shorts and attached the waistband differently to avoid any raw edges. Robe is #soisylviarobe with french seams and added belt loops. No other adjustments. Fabric from @fabricatemirfield which I am looking forward to being able to visit in person once I'm released from Covid shielding. #gosewyourself #learningtomakemyownclothes clothes #sewover40 #sewersofinstagram #shielding #lockdownsewing
