The Fifey PJs are the latest pattern release from Leila and me at Muna and Broad. In celebration you can save 15% off any of our loungewear patterns (including this one) with code LOUNGETOWN.
Named after my greyhound companion, it only seemed fitting that Fifey and I would have matching PJs when the pattern was named to honour him! He’s a willing model so long as there are treats involved!
The fabric and ribbing came from this Facebook group which sells deadstock cuts of mostly knit fabrics to folks in NZ. The cotton knit is a 2-way stretch with very little vertical stretch, but pairs fine with this pattern which was designed with both 2-way and 4-way stretch in mind.
I’m not sure exactly how much fabric I used because I had several pieces to work from rather than a single length and I cut a matching tee from Fifey from the same fabric!
We tried a few different waistband options but eventually agreed that the most comfortable option was knitted soft waistband elastic, so our custom knitted waistbanding from Nellie Joans was what we ended up using. These have already become my go-to PJs and I’m loving it.
There’s something about this time of the year that makes me want to have a fresh new pair of PJs (or several), and this project is surprisingly speedy so I’ve been filling my drawers!
