With the Pyjama Top finished I can now move onto the Bottoms.

Waistband

As always the problem with clothes for Mademoiselle is that they have to be able to put on without disrupting the String movement.

Since Pyjama Bottoms are often Elasticated I decided to use that as a basis. I Hemmed some material. I then added an Open Ended Hem and threaded through some Elastic creating a Waistband.

Waistband and Leg

I took a piece of material and wrapped around my thumb to give me an approximate size of the Marionettes Leg and then Hemmed it. I repeated this so I had two Leg pieces.

Legs with Press Studs

I then added a Press Stud on each end of the Material roughly in the middle of the Width edge. The tricky bit was now to add them in the right place on the Waistband Bottom.

I Pressed the Studs together on the Legs. I made sure that the Studs would open up on the outside of the Marionette’s Thigh when Sewn. I then flattened the Waistband and Pinned the Legs in place. I wanted to double check the position.

Complete Pyjama Set

Once satisfied I Sewed ONE SIDE of the Pyjama Legs onto the Back of the Waistband Bottoms. I repeated this with the other one and there we have it a Comfy Pyjama Set.

I now have the main Body and Shoulders of the Pyjama Top but I still have to add the Arms

4 Inch Arm

I cut two pieces of material and after Hemming the length was roughly 4 Inches in length. The width was approximately the same as the Shoulder overhang. See below.

Open Shoulders

I now opened the Shoulders back up so I could sew the Sleeves in place.

General Election Cock up

I frequently mention how distraction can lead to Errors. In this case it was watching the results come in. I inadvertently carried on Sewing after adding the Sleeve.

When I looked down I was Sewing down the Edge of the Sleeve. This meant that the Marionette would not be able to lift the Arm properly so I had to Unpick.

Sew On Sleeves

I now have both Sleeves attached. All that is need to finish the Pyjama Top is to close the Press Studs again.

Mademoiselle Marionette has some nice attire but for Christmas I thought she should be able to unwrap her presents in Comfort like everybody else.

Length of Pyjama Top

Starting the Pyjama Top I need to get some measurements. I found out my Template and measured the material against it. After Hemming it came to about 4.5 Inches in length.

Press Studs on PJ Top

I added Press Studs on the Outside of the Top

Press Studs on Inner

I matched up the Press Stud Parts and Sewed them in place on the Inner Part of the Pyjama Top.

6 Inch Shoulders

Next I needed to make the Shoulders. I made another Rectangle which was 6 Inches after Hemming.

Shoulders Pinned

Now I had the main Body of the Pyjama Top and the Shoulder Part I Pinned them together ready for Sewing.
