The pajamas are all complete at last. My cover stitch skills are not great so don't look too hard at them, but on the other hand, they are PJ's so excellent items to use for practicing said cover stitch skills.
The legging pattern is McCalls 5394, which gives you options for various leg lengths but even better, gives proportional pattern pieces so there are pieces for petite, average and tall fitting. This is fantastic because you can pick the body length you need and the leg length. I make the tall size, despite being only five foot one inch tall because this gives me a long body rise length then I shortened the legs a bit on the lengthen/shorten lines. The pattern itself is super simple; one piece, cut twice. Sew the inseams, put one leg inside the other, sew the crotch seam, turn over the top one inch, make a casing. Run elastic through. Hem the legs. And voila.
The top is Burda World of Fashion 10-06 Number 114. My standard TNT long sleeved Tee shirt pattern.
Next item to sew, Marfy 1666 trousers in navy blue cotton with a touch of lycra. Its a kind of chino type fabric, with a slightly glazed finish to the face. I had planned to make this pattern in brown wool flannel first. However, navy trousers will be more useful in the wardrobe at the moment. I cut the trousers out this afternoon and plan to work on them tomorrow.
