Kwik Sew 3595 is a pattern that I’ll probably be sewing indefinitely. I first sewed it back in 2012 – and those pyjamas were worn until they literally came apart. I replaced them with another pair in 2016 – and like the first pair, these pyjamas were worn until they came apart. I patched them so many times, but there’s only so much that voile can take! This time around I have sewn them in silk. I wonder if they will also last for years?

This silk came from Eliza’s, shortly before they closed their doors forever (sob). I still have some of their silk in stash with plans to sew a robe and more pyjamas.

Sadly, this pattern is well and truly out of print. Nab a copy if you see it on eBay/Etsy or similar! In view A these are perfect summer pyjamas for me. Cropped legs in a loose, elastic waisted pant. Sleeveless, but not strappy, so no getting twisted up as I sleep. I rotate rather than roll in my sleep, and this style works nicely!

I sewed size Medium since that’s what the pattern was cut out at. If I had been starting from scratch I would possibly go up a size, given that my measurements have gone up quite a bit in the ten years since I first used this pattern, but it still seems to fit comfortably. Thank goodness for ease! There’s also an easy sew, with a self-lined yoke on the top.

Yes, I’ll sew these again.
