A wise woman once told me<\/a>, when we dress for bed we dress for ourselves. I never thought of it like that. We’re not dressing for others. There is no dress code written or implied, or even socially enforced. So why not wear something we truly like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like pajama pants with pockets (as I always have too many little odds and ends to carry upstairs at night) and my friend, Lisa<\/a>, likes pajama shorts with a drawstring waist. So once again we collaborated. She designed the fabric<\/a> and I made the pajamas with a little help from The Assembly Line<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, as a gift to everyone, the Swedish-based pattern company, The Assembly Line, released a free pajama set pattern<\/a> for woven fabrics. It is a simple pullover top and elastic waist shorts. It really is free you don\u2019t even have to sign up for their newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my video, I show you how to make the pajama shorts as they are designed but also how to lengthen the pattern for pj pants, and how to replace the elastic waist with a drawstring waist if you prefer. You can watch all the steps here or if you prefer to read your instructions, read on. I\u2019ve included lots of pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
