Tomorrow is the first day of October and already the leaves are changing and the weather is cooling down. This time of year makes me want to cuddle up in a comfy pair of pajamas and watch a movie. What could be better? How about making your own pjs out of a cute flannel print?
Learn how to make a variety of pajama types and styles (including those for your hubby) with the book, The Perfect Pajama by Kristina Nilsson and Jennifer Pirtle from Cico Books. The book also includes 21 full-size patterns and templates!

Have you ever stitched your own pjs?
Post your answer by 9 AM ET on Monday, when we’ll announce the winner. Good luck!

I helped my mother make a pair for me once, when I was really little. I don’t think I was much help.
Yes, pajamas are one of my favorite items to sew. I’ve sewn them for myself, my husband and children. I like working with flannel and being able to alter the pattern for individual fit.
I have never stitched my own PJs, but I have ruined a few by trying to dye them a different color. I would love this book!
Yes, and love making them for the grandkids. The book looks so inviting to make some!!
I used to make pajamas for my kids, but never myself.
For my first sewing project, I made pj bottoms however, I have never made a top. If I won this book, there wouldn’t be any excuse for me not to make a top.
No…guess it’s time to start, though!! Made cute flannel nightgowns for my girls and nieces when they were small and of course… for many dolls!!
Sure have! For myself, my two sons when they were small, and my Mom.
No, I have only made pj’s for other people.
No but I am thinking about making some for my girls for Christmas.
I made jammies for my daughter. Never got around to making any for myself.
I made pjs for my children when they were little. When my daughter was getting married I made pj bottoms to match for her and my son in law that were Elvis themed, added Elvis DVDs and popcorn for as a gift!!
Yes! I made the softest flannel pjs, so warm and snuggly.
I made some for the whole family, but the pattern was unisex and the fit was horrible!
No, I have not. I am interested in creating clothing.
A long time ago I made several pj’s for the family. I am determined to make myself some for this winter.
Yes, I have made satin pjs with lace collar and pocket inserts. Also, I have made long and shortie pjs from thermal weave fabric which are comfortable and warm.
Wow, good question. I can’t say as I have made my own PJs, but I’ve been wanting to make some for myself and my daughter. The book would be a great help!
Would love to make some.
I never made my own pj’s, but I made them for my grandchildren and they loved them. I will definitely get the Pajama Book. Love those pj’s
No, but I do have a pattern and some fabric ready for pj’s.

I have made so many that I can not count. My mother always had me sewing them when I was young. I think sewing pj’s is a good learning to sew project. Easy and fun to sew.
I have patterns… I have fabric (in my stash)… I just have not put the time in to make them. The book looks like fun!
Yes! I’ve made lots of PJ’s for my daughters and myself, including matching Christmas print flannel bottoms that we wore on Christmas morning. Would love to have this book!
I have made pajamas for everyone in my family except for me!
Yes. I have sewn some for myself and for my children.
I was teaching two little girls to sew pajama pants and they insisted I had to make a pair along with them. They are pink with glow-in-the-dark lips on them and they are used as a decoration in my Studio. Last winter I made pajama pants out of flannel patchwork fabric and a top out of pink interlock knit. the pants are very warm and heavy. It is almost cold enough to start wearing them.
yes, and my kids too! love to make my own
Yes, I have. Have also made them for my children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and all nine grandchildren!
No I haven’t. I haven’t sewn since high school.
I’m looking for information on learning to sew.
I’ve made PJ’s for gifts before. They are the perfect gift to sew for someone else as the fit is a little forgiving. Thanks for the opportunity to win – I have a bin of flannel that needs to be sewn up!
Yes, I have made PJ bottoms for my family members as well as myself. I got fancy this year and added a draw string as well as an elastic waistband:)
No but last year I helped my Girl Scout troop make PJ bottoms. It was so much fun to see the girls create.
I made my first PJ’s when I was 16 in a pretty flowery cotton flannel and made many more over the years.
Yes, I have. Pajamas, nighties, robes, for myself and others. I think I’ll make more nighties for the little girls on my list again this year.
OH YEA…..nice and snug granny pjs.
YES! I have made my own pj’s. I made mine out of flannel and they were wonderful on those cold winter nights. They were great!!
No, I haven’t even thought to do that. I love flannel.
No, not yet.
Yes, I’ve stitched my own PJs.
Hope it’s not too late to enter. I’ve never sewn pajamas, but I would love to learn how to sew some!
I have not sewn pajamas. I do have 4 yards of flannel in my stash plus pajama patterns that I bought to make pajamas. I just have not gotten around to sewing a pair of pajamas.
