This is one of our favorite serger friendly patterns! Jeanne is a sewing pattern to make a two-piece pajama set using a knit fabric. It includes a long-sleeve, round-neck top with ribbed neckband and cuffs. The pajama bottoms are slim-fit, the waist elastic hits at the belly button, and the cuffs are finished with ribbed ankle cuffs. An easy-to-wear pajama set that is also very easy to make. It is a wonderful pattern for beginners or a first sewing project for knits.
