Pattern Description:
From the pattern envelope: "Loose fitting nightshirt and pajama top with pocket placement variations and pajama/jumpsuit have front button opening; pajama pants have elastic at waist."

Pattern Sizing:
Multi-sized pattern (X-Small to X-Large). I made a size medium.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yeah, I would say so.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions were good.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like that it loose fitting, I find it extremely comfortable. I found that it was super quick to whip up and piece together.

Fabric Used:
Flannel

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
The only pattern alteration that I made was to the length of the sleeves, I shortened them a wee bit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I might sew another one up but for now I'm happy with this one. And would highly recommend this pattern if you happen to come across it.

Conclusion:
This is an out-of-print pattern, circa 1996. The pattern for the nightshirt could easily be adapted into a housecoat/robe.
