   V***i (verified owner) – August 25, 2024:

   I have now made 3 sets of pyjamas using this pattern and the matching pants. The first out of a linen with short sleeves for summer and the others out of cotton flannelette. This has become my favourite PJs pattern and I will certainly make more of these. I might size down one size next time as it is very loose, but I am between sizes so often size down if the pattern is oversized.

   The only head scratching moment I had with these was figuring out the yoke/collar connection. I could not figure out the diagram and ended up using a YouTube video, which worked well and ended up with a nice enclosed yoke. The technique is easy if you know how to do a burrito yoke already, but the collar is sandwiched between the neck of the body and the facing/back yoke. The back is then enclosed last with the yoke and the garment is pulled through the sleeve opening. Just a variation on the traditional shirt yoke with a collar stand.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:

A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
