For my first sewing project I made a pair of pyjama trousers from the book Love At First Stitch (which I’ll be steadily working my way through before I graduate to commercial patterns). Here’s what I started out with…
And here’s how they turned out (my dog wanted to join in)…
This pattern was literally one of the easiest things I’ve ever sewn! The instructions were super clear, and accompanied by loads of really helpful pictures and top tips. I think even a complete beginner would be able to follow them. They took me about 3-4 hours in total to make, but I’m sure they could be made in less if you wanted, as none of the techniques covered are that difficult. The trousers themselves are sooo comfy, especially because of the adjustable drawstring waist. All in all, an excellent excuse to stay in your pyjamas all day!
