Pattern: Assembly Line FREE Pyjamas pattern (2022)
Pattern Description: A two-piece loungewear set consisting of a short-sleeved top with a wide neckline and relaxed fit shorts with an elastic waistband, and side seam pockets.
Pattern Sizing: Sizes XS to 3XL, I made a Medium top and a Large in the shorts.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it looks exactly like it!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Definitely, in fact, the instructions were excellent.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I was looking for an easy shorts pattern but after I saw all the cute flannel and jersey prints available, I thought of making the entire set as sleep or loungewear. I normally just sleep in a random t-shirt and add leggings once I wake up. However, with these, I have an entire cute outfit. Best yet, they were designed with roomy pockets.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Seeing examples on the web and reading reviews showed that the neckline was wide. However, even though I reduced the width by 1/8-1/4," it still could use less width as you can see in the last picture below it tends to shift from side to side. Remember though, if you shorten the width, make sure you can still get it over your head.
Conclusion: I am already eyeing some more cutesy prints (in knits and crisp cottons) for spring and summer sets. One thing I really appreciate about the instructions is that they have you finish all the seams, secure the pockets, and have you prepress all the hems before any side seam construction. Those steps result in a neat and elegant finish, inside and out.

I love this outfit, it so adorable, and the pattern is great too. I love the color combination and the prints are cute. That short compliments the lovely Short-sleeved top and I love the choice of fabric. Great job! Love it.<3
