Brother to our popular Jaimie pattern, with a longer and straighter menswear fit, the Joe pyjamas make a quick and easy sewing project.

Choose full-length pyjama bottoms or above-the-knee shorts, both featuring a low-rise, elasticated waistband and relaxed-fit legs for easy movement. Add the optional drawstring detail for a classic pyjama finish.

Fun to make

Super easy to do, I am happy with the results (and my husband is too). Going to make another short version and the long one as well. I wished there was an option for pockets.

Hi there, thank you so much for your lovely review! It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the pattern and already thinking about making more versions - yay! We have a tutorial on our blog showing how to add in-seam pockets, which you might find helpful. Happy sewing! Virginija x

JOE PYJAMA

This is my first sewing project, very clear and easy instructions to follow. Comfortable to wear and now starting the long leg version.

Hi there! Thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear your first project was such a success - your shorts look great! Enjoy wearing them, and have fun making the full-length trousers. Happy sewing! Virginija x

No instructions for scaling up the pattern

I need detailed instructions on how to scale up the patterns to full size in order to tape them together to cut out my material.
Please reply with the necessary information so I can actually use the pattern.

I got a prompt response from Tilly and the Buttons on how to print the patterns , so all is well.

Hi Lesley,
Thanks so much for your review! I was happy to point you in the right direction for the instructions within your pattern, and I was so pleased to hear that you enjoyed using it in your workshop! If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Happy sewing!

Great quick sewing project

The instructions for the Joe pattern are clear and straightforward! I've made a few pairs ready for Xmas gifts already :)

Hi Joanna, thanks so much for your lovely review! I’m so happy to hear the instructions were easy to follow and that you’ve made some for Christmas – yay! Happy sewing! Virginija x

Joe PJs

Easy sew and true to fit. Made 3 pairs in a day. Unheard of as a very slow sewist who procrastinates a lot.
