*Total length is measured from the shoulder to the sole of the foot. Yardage Requirements are
based on a 58" bolt and allow for 2-3" fabric shrinkage/yard. If you are making the cuffed
version, you might be able to use one less snap than listed. Metric conversions are approximate
and provided for your convenience.

You may sell items made with this pattern. You may not copy, sell, or redistribute this pattern in

Choosing Your Size

Children vary in sizing greatly. For the best fit choose your size based on the child's weight and
height. If you are making the pajamas as a gift for a new arrival, I highly recommend using the 3
mos. size as some babies weigh more than 8 lbs at birth. The newborn size is designed to fit an
average baby for the first month.

Choosing Your Options

The Lullaby Line Snap PJs include options for footed pajamas or pajamas with cuffed legs.

Printing Your Pattern and Cutting Your Pieces

Print the pattern at 100% scale. Check the 2” box to ensure it printed correctly. Tape the pattern
pieces together along the black lines so the markings form complete circles. Lay out all pieces before
you begin cutting to ensure the most efficient use of your fabric.

Sewing Guidelines

All seam allowances are 1/4" and are included in the pattern pieces.

All main seams should be sewn with a serger or narrow zig-zag stitch.

Assembly:

1. Apply the two strips of interfacing to the wrong side of the side placket and main placket piece
1/4" in from one long edge and 1/4” from one short edge. The interfacing will be shorter than
the main placket; start at the bottom of the piece.

2. With right sides together (RST) sew the


main and side front piece to the back piece at
the shoulder seams.

3. Fold the main placket in half with wrong


sides together and press flat.

Line up the bottom of the placket (the end


with the interfacing) with the bottom edge of
the main front piece. For the footed option, the
placket will start at the top of the foot cutout.

Align the raw edges and pin the interfaced


section of the placket to the pajamas.

Pin the top end of the placket to the end of the


neckline on the side front piece. Stretch the
non-interfaced section of the placket to
fit the neckline.

Sew the placket in place with RST.

*Tip: To prevent the two sides of the placket


from shifting as you sew, baste the long edges
together along the interfaced section.

(c) peek-a-boo pattern shop 2019 Lullaby Line Snap PJs 5


4. Topstitch the seam allowance to the body of
the pjs with a double needle, stretch stitch or
zig-zag stitch.

5. With RST sew one short end of the side


placket together. This will be the top edge of
the placket.

6. With RST sew the side placket piece to the


raw edge of the side front/main placket piece.

The finished edge of the side placket should be


flush with the finished edge of the main
binding.

*Tip: To prevent the two sides of the placket


from shifting as you sew, baste the long edges
together along the interfaced section.

7. Topstitch the seam allowance to the body of
the pjs with a double needle, stretch stitch or
zig-zag stitch.

8. Overlap the placket pieces with the main


side of the pjs on top.

Position the first snap at the intersection of the


main and side front piece. Use the template to
space the remaining snaps down the rest of the
placket.

Baste the bottom edge of the placket


shut.

(c) peek-a-boo pattern shop 2019 Lullaby Line Snap PJs 7


9. Center the gusset along the back inseam with RST and sew together.

*Tip: I find this step easier to sew with a sewing machine than a serger.

10. With RST sew the upper feet pieces to the
foot openings in the front legs.

Make sure the snap placket is completely shut


before attaching the upper foot piece.

11. To help the feet stay in place add 1/4"


elastic to the back of the leg. Cut a piece of 1/4"
elastic to 2/3 the width of the back leg.

Tack the ends down at each side seam x" above


the bottom of the leg on the wrong side of the
fabric.

12. With RST sew the sleeves into the arm
openings.

13. With RST sew up the pjs side seam and


sleeve inseam.

*Tip: For a slimmer fit, use a 1/2” seam


allowance along the pjs side seam and taper to
a 1/4” seam allowance for the sleeve seam.

14. With RST sew the front and back of the pjs
together along the inseam/gusset.

15. With RST sew the soles to the bottom of
the leg/upper foot piece. The toe end of the
sole is marked with a notch.

16. With RST sew the short ends of each cuff
piece together to form a loop. Roll the bottom
edge up so the cuff is double thickness and the
seam is enclosed.

(c) peek-a-boo pattern shop 2019 Lullaby Line Snap PJs 10


17. With the cuff on the right side of the sleeve,
sew the raw edges of the cuff to the bottom
edge of the sleeve. Line up the seam in the cuff
with the seam in the sleeve. You will need to
stretch the cuff to fit.

Flip the finished cuff down and press flat.

Cuffed Legs
18. Repeat step 16 with the leg cuff pieces.

Slide the cuffs over the bottom edge of the pj


legs with the raw edges aligned and RST. Align
the cuff seam with the inseam, stretch the cuff
to fit and sew together.
