The 2 part class will use the Tilly and the Buttons Jaimie pyjama trouser pattern.
“Jaimie is an ideal first sewing project for newbies, or a quick and satisfying make for existing stitch addicts. Choose between full-length pyjama bottoms or flirty boyfriend shorts, with optional drawstring detail. The low-rise, elasticated waist and relaxed-fit leg make these PJs oh so comfy to wear. You’ll never want to get dressed when you’re wearing your Jaimie jammies!” (taken from the Tilly and the Buttons website)

For more confident sewists, there is an option to add in seam pockets.
What is included:

Pattern sizing
The Jaimie sewing pattern is sized between UK sizes 4-24. Size 4 is an XS size which is perfect for tweens and teenagers. Tilly and the Buttons have also added sizes 9 and 10 to several of their patterns (UK 22 and 24), increasing their size range even further.
For a larger image of the sizing chart please see here.
You will need to measure yourself in order to know how much fabric to get. You cannot compare to high street sizes. Please get in touch if you are uncertain.
You will need to measure your waist, hip and inside leg. Please refer to my blog post on measuring yourself accurately for help with the waist and hip measurements.

” We all need pyjamas and how amazing to make your own where you can choose just the right fabric you like and make them to fit you. Whether you need to make them shorter or longer, with pockets, shorts….anything is possible! I love my Jaimie pyjama trousers and have made several pairs of shorts for teenagers including one pair that uses mix and match fat quarters.”

This is a Level 4 workshop and is suitable for those who are confident with the sewing machine and have sewn a garment with woven fabric. It is ideal to cut out the fabric pattern pieces in advance of the class to allow more time to sew on the day.
You will learn how to:
Please give me a call if you are in any doubt about fabric choices or suggestions of where to buy from.
It is recommended to pre wash your fabric before the workshop as it is likely to shrink a little in the first wash. Do not hang your fabric to dry as it will stretch out of shape – dry flat.
Prior to the class:
In order to allow as much time as possible for sewing on the day of the class, it will be preferable for you to cut out your fabric pieces in advance. Help will be given pre workshop about sizing if necessary. You will therefore need working knowledge of how to cut out a pattern independently in order to do this class. Any questions just get in touch.
Cost £115
