These popover-style pajamas look a lot like the classic button-down version, but the buttons stop halfway down so the top stays closed without the uncomfortable buttons. The top features a convertible camp collar, two front pockets, back yoke with inverted box pleat, side vents, and cup sizes. Choose long sleeves (View A) or short sleeves (View B), both with a foldable cuff. The bottoms have front pockets, an elastic waist, and can be sewn either as trousers (View A) or shorts (View B), both with cuffed hems.
Suggested Fabrics
This pattern works best with light- to medium-weight woven fabrics like cotton poplin, twill, sateen, flannel, lawn, or voile, as well as linen or rayon.
Notions
Coordinating thread, lightweight fusible interfacing, two 1/2" buttons, 1" elastic (1 yard for sizes 0–14, 1 1/2 yards for sizes 16–20).
