Pajama Inspiration from Modkid

For those of you with Christmas pajamas still on your list to sew, I thought I would give you some pattern inspiration from Modkid. 

The Vivian Shirtdress and Nightgown is the only pattern in the list designed with a nightgown in mind, but don't let that limit you!!

This comfy knit nightgown was created using the Melanie pattern. The only alteration was to omit the side pockets and add a bottom ruffle.

The Tandy top paired with shorts makes a great set. You can experiment with a woven body for the top as long as the yoke is made in knit. The dress version would also make a great nightgown.

For another PDF pattern option, the Modkid Dakota makes a great pajama top or lengthen it for a nightgown. 

Finally, don't forget the Modkid paper patterns!! The Quinn dress in flannel makes a great nightgown. The pajamas on the left in the photo above combine a shortened Quinn dress and Sophie pants.

Check out the Grace, Penny, or Morgan for other possible pajama / nightgown patterns. Just don't limit yourself!!

Flannel Pajamas with Modkid

 

If you thought you had to have a specific pattern for sewing pajamas or a nightgown, this post is for you!! This post is also for those who might think flannel can only be used with specific patterns. I combined a couple of Modkid's paper patterns with flannel for some of my favorite pajamas for my daughters.

Back to these particular pajamas. I use the Quinn pattern for the nightgown on my youngest daughter. Then, I shorted the Quinn dress for a top for my oldest daughter. I paired the top with the Sophie pants view A.



 

I used snaps in lieu of buttons to make it easy for my girls to dress themselves.



 

 

I love that the girl's pajamas are unique but coordinated. Take advantage of the great sale and grab these patterns and more!
