Party Ready PJs

The party’s always on when you’re wearing our Slumber Party PJs! Super comfortable, our pajama top has a cap sleeve and a lovely curved yoke that’s great for contrasting fabrics.

Our Slumber Party PJs are fabulous in flannel, double-brushed poly knits, double gauze, cottons or anything that suits your weather. We love the set above sewn up in a cotton/spandex knit, too. 

Choose from two lengths for the top or use it as a short nightie. With it’s stylish side slits, it will always be a favorite. Add the quick-to-sew Slumber Party PJs bottoms in a short or cropped length depending on personal preference. The wide elastic waistband is designed to stay in place while still being comfy for sleeping!

Wrap Up a Cozy Robe

For added warmth, stitch up our Klassic Kimono Robe, isn't it gorgeous in this Kaffe Fasset print from Free Spirit.   The traditional styling takes a modern turn when sewn up in flannel, fleece or a super-plush, super-soft minky fabric. Make your Klassic Kimono Robe dramatically long in a silk or voile for Christmas morning elegance or chose a shorter length for casual comfort! 

The Klassic KImono Robe includes three lengths. Add a belt, use contrasting or coordinating front and sleeve trim to make it designer-style unique. And, don’t forget the in-seam pockets!! What would a robe be without pockets for tissues, a phone or other morning essentials?!

Speaking of pockets . . .over on the Dritz blog, you'll find a fabulously plush and cozy version of our Klassic Kimono Robe! Fashion blogger Laura, created a pattern hack of our Kimono styled with patch pockets and a hood. It's amazing and you'll love it!

Bedtime Boots for adults and Sleep Time Slippers for children, give you all the sizes you need.
