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 our now-basically-official greyhound mascot, and in honour of his preference for soft long PJs, the Fifey PJs are knit fabric, ribbing, and entirely soft edges and low profile details.
The fabric and ribbing came from this Facebook group which sells deadstock cuts of mostly knit fabrics to folks in NZ. I had previously purchased this fabric and made a tee that I really loved a lot- the fabric has nice stretch and the print has an almost laminated feel which lasts well with washing and wearing.
Due to fabric constraints I added a centre-back seam to the top, which we had omitted during the design process because we thought this would make sewing with stripes easier for folks (but also because less seams is best for sleeping). On this busy print you can’t tell and I’m not super sensitive to the feeling of seams, so it’s no issue.
As always with photos of the sample garments for M&B there were no changes made to the pattern.
So often what we end up wearing to bed is just comfortable daytime clothes that are old and tired- and I really enjoy the sense of put-togetherness that comes with a matching set! If there was a fire in the middle of the night, it wouldn’t be worried about all my fabric AND what I was wearing.
