145 Chinese Pajamas

Women's Extra Small to Extra Large, Men's Medium to 2X Large.

The casual comfort and simple elegance of this easy-sew Jacket and Pants combo will make it your favorite at-home wear in super-soft cotton or the perfect evening outfit in silk and brocade. This sewing pattern includes a fully-lined Jacket and drawstring pants.  The mid-thigh Jacket features stand-up Mandarin collar, set-in sleeves, inside and outside pockets, button-loop frog front closures, and extra-long sleeves that roll back to expose a colorful or decorative lining. The loose-fitting Pants have a drawstring waist and cuff bands that can be made of the same fabric or a complementary decorative fabric. 

Create a wardrobe of interesting outfits by using a changing selection of materials and colors. Other design options include shortening the jacket sleeves or omitting them altogether to make a vest, lengthening the jacket to a knee- or ankle-length coat, or shortening it for a bolero variation. 

Suggested Fabrics: Soft and fluid silks, synthetics, cottons, silk velvet. For a more structured look, cotton, lightweight denim or corduroy, medium-weight silk, lightweight wool. NOTE: Jacket lining shows when cuff is rolled back.
