Pj Pants

$9.00
 

The PJ Pants are our all-time favorite sleep wear. You can choose from a shorts or pant length so this pattern can be used through any season! Recent updates to this pattern are slight but make a BIG difference (in our opinion). The base pattern has not changed but we've added the options of a wide continuous gusset, a narrow continuous gusset in sizes 12m - 9/10, and a fabric waistband. Please make sure to read through the instructions before getting started (especially the "notes about this pattern" page) Pair with Racerback PJ Top or Raglan PJ Top for a super cute and cozy pajama set.  

Pattern Type:
PDF - Letter, A0, Projector

Skill Level:
Beginner - Anyone with a machine can do it!

Sizes & Fabric Quantity:
NB - 18M : 1/2 yard .5 meters
2T - 4T : 1 yard .75 meters
5T - 9/10 : 1 1/2 yards 1.5 meters

Materials:

  • Rib knit or Jersey - Because these are a slim fitting pant, it’s important to select the right kind of fabric. My favorite is rib knit. Specifically one with spandex in it for better recovery. You can use jersey fabric but if you do, make sure it has at least 50% stretch. I do not suggest using 100% cotton (even if it’s knit) for any tight fitting pants.
  • Waistband elastic (not needed if doing fabric waistband version) 
  • Drawstring (optional)

A quick note before you dive in: Our patterns include multiple files so you can sew the way you like—at home on a printer, at a copyshop (A0), or with a projector.

Quick answers

  • After checkout, you can download your pattern from the confirmation page, from the email we send, or anytime under Account → My Downloads using the same email you purchased with.
  • Your files come in a .zip. It’s easiest to download on a computer, unzip, and you’ll see: Instructions, Letter/A4, A0, and a Projector file.
  • Printing at home? Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print at 100% (Actual Size), then check the test square.
  • Prefer no paper? Use the Projector file. It includes a calibration layer so you can confirm scale before you cut.
  • Need a big print? Send the A0 file to a local copyshop or an online printer.
  • If you get stuck, email hello@lowlandkids.com and we'll be happy to help!


Downloads & accounts


How do I get my files?
Right after payment you’ll see a download button on the confirmation page. We also email you links in your order confirmation email. And you can log in to our website any time and find everything under View Downloads.

What pattern files are included?
Four PDFs: Instructions, Letter/A4 (home printing), A0 (copyshop), and Projector.

Can I download on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Check out our Printing and Projector tips page for specific guidance.


Projector sewing (quick start)


Do your patterns include projector files?
Yes—our current catalog includes projector-optimized files for nearly all patterns. You’ll see “Projector” listed in each download.

How do I check scale?
Open the Projector file and turn on the calibration layer. Confirm the 1” / 2.5 cm squares measure correctly. If you move your projector or cutting surface, re-check before you cut.

Any setup tips?
Keep the text/markers layer visible. If labels look faint, check your PDF viewer’s accessibility settings and disable “replace document colors.” You can also enable the black background layer for higher contrast.


Print-at-home (Letter/A4)

1. Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. In the print dialog, choose Actual Size (100%) and auto portrait/landscape.
3. Print the page with the test square first; measure to confirm scale.

Troubleshooting:
  • If the whole pattern prints on a single page, you likely opened the wrong file (use Letter/A4, not A0 or Projector).
  • If lines look fuzzy or misaligned, try “Print as image,” make sure your printer driver is up to date, and restart your computer.


Copyshop / A0

Download the A0 file and send it to a copyshop or an online service. Many sewists print a single master copy and trace sizes as needed.

Note that we protect our patterns by locking the pdf files to prevent editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator. In rare circumstances copy shops might use software that invisibly requests edit access and will show errors when attempting to open our files. 


Layers (print only the sizes you need)

All patterns include layers. Open the Layers panel in Acrobat Reader and hide sizes you don’t need. This keeps lines clear and makes grading between sizes easier.


Sizing & skill level

Each product page shows the skill level and links to the size chart. If measurements land between sizes, it’s common to use the width of one size and the length of another.


What machines do I need?

A regular sewing machine is all you need to start. A serger is optional but great for knit fabrics and tidy seams. A coverstitch is helpful for professional hems but not required.


Can I sell what I make?

Yes—items must be sewn by you personally. Mass production or outsourcing isn’t allowed. For manufacturing inquiries, email us.


Need help?

We’re happy to troubleshoot downloads, printing, or projector setup. Email hello@lowlandkids.com and include your order email and a screenshot of your issue if you can.

A bit too tight

Seem to be a bit on the thin side for my little guys thick legs. I was hoping for a looser fit on the legs. I used french terry with stretch and it was still hugging his calves too much. Cute otherwise

GREAT Beginners+ Pattern

LOVED the idea of a gusset for my son's PJs, but was intimidated by the idea of sewing it! The instructions are top notch and made it so easy. One tip - if the fabric is directional (you care if your print is right right side up and not on its head lol), use the two piece gusset.

Amazing, our new fav!

I have skinny kids, this is the perfect fit! I've made the pants to also fit a very thick baby, by opening up the elastic slightly. We love how easy the instructions are to follow and quick to sew up! They are the perfect pants for all sizes! Thank you Lowland Kids for amazing patterns.

The directions were very clear. Simple. The pants themselves are adorable.I love that you can either have the full 1 piece gusset or cut the 2 separate pieces allowing for flexibility. Pairs perfectly with the pj raglan. Just finishing a stack off and am thrilled to add these sets to my shop.
