The fabric before it is sewn--yes, I have it in green, too!
Pattern Description:
Pull-on pants and shorts have pockets in side seams and cuffs. Waist has elastic in casing, drawstring, and header forming ruffle. Casing, drawstring, and cuffs are from contrast fabric. Pull-over tank top has a scoop neckline, and armholes and neckline are finished with narrow hems. Pattern includes 1/4 inch (6mm) seam allowances.
I made the pull-on pants and I did not use contrast fabric. It was all about the cows and I didn't want to take attention away from them.
Pattern Sizing:
Kwik Sew's usual line-up of XS,S,M,L,XL.
I sewed my usual KS size of between an L and an XL.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, except for the fact I didn't use two different fabrics.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Gotta love Kwik Sew instructions. I will say that waistband/header treatment had me scratching my head, but I finally figured it out.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked that--at last--I was able to make pockets that looked really good. Oh, and how often do you see pj bottom patterns with pockets included? That's a very good thing to have and this pattern includes pockets.
Fabric Used:
I used a 100% Alexander Henry fabric called "In the Moo . . . od" with a copyright of 2007. This info was printed on the selvage.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Once again, I used only one fabric, foregoing the contrast fabric in this version. I did lengthen the pj bottoms since I did not add the contrast cuff.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will definitely sew this pattern over and over. The top is great, too, especially since it's made of 100% organic knit fabric which is super soft.
Conclusion:
This is a great pj pattern. It includes the stylish addition of contrast fabrics, the usefulness of pockets, and legs that are narrower than your average pj bottom pattern. I do highly recommend this pattern. Sweet dreams!

They are great. With pockets on your pyjama pants you could MOOch around forever and never want to get dressed. And the fabric is gorgeous.
