![]() The Peppermint PJs were great basics to sew and I love the video on Melly Sews YouTube channel on making the waistband. It’s a great neutral to wear with jeans and a light jacket for fall! ![]() The length is great for a PJ tee and I think this is great pattern for any basic tee. With the top, I made a straight medium with the cap sleeve and didn’t make any additional adjustments. On the cuff, I took another 2″ off the total length because I didn’t want this delicate fabric to drag on the floor at all. I used the shorten/lengthen line to reduce the front and back legs by 2″. I also added piping at the pockets to balance out the look.Īs you know, I’m also a shortie at 5’3″. So I added piping where the cuffs attached to help keep the look cohesive. Since I was working within my stash, I did not have a contrasting rayon that would work with my floral print. I love the extra room – perfect for laying on the couch for family movie night! I also made my regular pants adjustments of extending the crotch by 1/2″ and deepening the seat by 3/8″. But since the Peppermint PJs are meant for lounging, I sized up to the large and then graded the waist to a medium since the elastic would pull the sides in more. I’m a small in the waist and am in-between a medium and large in the hips. ![]() With pants, I always measure all across the board. I purchased this from Imagine Gnats, but this is a staple from RK and you can find it also at, here. The knit is a bit lighter and slightly sheer, but is perfect if you are looking for a tissue tee or for some great drape. It’s a nice off-white cream color and so soft. With Rayon, I always use twice as many pins I usually do and I try not to pick a design which requires fabric matching – it is already hard enough to sew a new pattern!įor the top, I dug into my stash again and found just enough of this Robert Kaufman Dana modal knit to make the cap-sleeve version. However, with these features, it can be very slippery to handle. It has a soft hand, wonderful drape and feels silky to the touch. It is a Rayon Challis and feels incredible!. I’ve been very conscious lately of my fabric consumption and was happy to find this Rifle Paper Co floral already in my stash. I am usually a boxers gal and wear all of my old flannel Xmas ones in colder months. I knew I wanted something luxurious for my first pair of Peppermint pants. It has a nice relaxed slim fit for shaping, but not body-con tight. You can make cap sleeves like I did, or use the long sleeve option. The bottoms can be made into shorts, capris (by leaving off the cuffs) and full-length pants.įor the knit top, it features a crew-neck with raglan sleeves. The pants feature an elastic waist, roomy slash pockets, and a separate cuff. This is like a 2-for-1 pattern with sizes ranging from XXS-3X (bust 30″ – 53″ and hips 33″ – 55″.) The Peppermint Pajamas comes with patterns for BOTH the woven pants and the knit top. Well, now I actually have a pattern (that fits!) and won’t have to spend as much time making my holiday pajamas! I’ve also always drafted my own (making different tweeks every year) and have yet to add pockets. We’re heading into holiday season and I’ve always sewn family PJs for Christmas Eve. What great timing on the launch of these Peppermint Pajamas by Blank Slate Patterns.
