Whether you’re a complete beginner or just want a satisfying quick make, Jaimie is designed to be simple, wearable, and genuinely fun to sew. And yes – there’s a free video tutorial to guide you every step of the way.
Jaimie is available in printed and PDF sewing pattern formats, in sizes UK 4–34 (we've included an extra small size to this pattern - equivalent to UK size 4 / US size 0 / EUR size 32.)
Why you’ll love the Jaimie pyjamas
Jaimie is all about comfort without complication. Think relaxed-fit pyjama trousers or shorts, with an elasticated waistband that makes fitting easy and forgiving.
You can sew them in lightweight cotton for breezy summer lounging, or cosy flannel for winter nights in. Basically, once you’ve made one pair, you’ll probably want more.
Key features:
- Choose from full-length pyjama bottoms or shorts
- Relaxed fit for maximum comfort
- Elasticated waist for easy fitting
- Optional drawstring detail for extra finish
- Designed for beginners, but satisfying for all levels
They’re the kind of pyjamas you’ll reach for constantly – whether you’re sleeping, lounging, or working from home.
A beginner-friendly sewing project
If you’re new to sewing clothes, Jaimie is a brilliant place to start.
The construction is straightforward, and our award-winning instructions guide you step-by-step with clear illustrations and photos. We’ve also made a free video tutorial, where you can sew along with us from cutting out your fabric to finishing your waistband.
The only slightly fiddly part is the optional drawstring buttonholes, but you can skip these entirely if you prefer a simpler make.
If you’ve sewn a few projects before, Jaimie is also a lovely quick win – satisfying, practical, and perfect for stash-busting fabric.
Sizes and formats
Jaimie is now available in:
- Sizes UK 4-34 (US 0-30 / EUR 32-62)
- Printed sewing pattern
- PDF sewing pattern (print-at-home or copyshop A0)
The expanded size range means more sewists can enjoy this comfy wardrobe staple, whether you’re sewing for yourself or making a handmade gift.
Fabric ideas for Jaimie
