There are three fabrics for you to choose from; you can select the one you want when you pay your balance. Your pattern (template) is also provided, so you will need to provide some body measurements to ensure you make the right size to fit you.

Your PJ bottoms will be made from super soft, brushed cotton in a tartan pattern. There is a choice of three colours, as shown below.

  • Increase their confidence using a sewing machine, setting the dials and selecting the best stitch settings, and how to solve common problems

  • How to insert elastic to provide flexibility to the fit
