I want to make several pairs of women's pajamas as gifts. Does anyone have a pattern to recommend - nice fit, nice appearance, no pattern gliches?

I would like to see the answers for your question too

I remember Debbie Cook making a few pajamas a while back, but not sure if they were pj patterns or not? I will keep looking.....

Have you tried using the advanced search (link at top left corner) or entering either "pajamas" or "pyjamas" into the basic search box? (I mention the spelling with a "y" because it's used in the U.K., Canada, Australia, etc., and will bring up quite a few reviews in addition to the ones labelled "pajamas.")

I like the Burda pajamas for a classic pair made of woven fabric. Here is my review.

I use KS2811. I love the pants, they are super comfortable. However I prefer to team them with a knit top rather than a button down one.

I just bought the new Butterick Connie Crawford PJ pattern 5434, haven't tried it yet, but her fit is more realistic. http://www.butterick.com/item/B5434.htm?tab=whats_new&page=2

My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 10, and I've been sewing ever since.

I'm planning on using the Sewing Workshop Trio pant for pajamas. Kind of pricey if you don't already have it though.

I so appreciate the suggestions. I also learned something about the Advanced Search feature. I've used it to search for a particular pattern number, but didn't realize I could also search by type. Thanks everyone!
