Jaimie Pyjama Shorts or Trousers

Jaimie Pyjama Shorts or Trousers by Tilly and the Buttons are the perfect pattern for beginner sewists.

Lounge in style in your me-made pyjama bottoms or shorts. With simple construction and a free step-by-step video tutorial (available on YouTube), Jaimie is an ideal first sewing project for newbies, or a quick and satisfying make for existing stitch addicts.

Choose between full-length pyjama bottoms or flirty boyfriend shorts, with optional drawstring detail. The low-rise, elasticated waist and relaxed-fit leg make these PJs oh so comfy to wear. You’ll never want to get dressed when you’re wearing your Jaimie jammies!

Jaimie includes Tilly and the Buttons' award-winning beginner-friendly instructions, with colour photos showing you each step – making it easy for you to create gorgeous clothes you can be proud to say you made yourself. Plus you can sew along with Tilly with the free video tutorial! If you'd like to come and learn to sew Jaimie in class, we will be running beginner sessions later in the year too.
