21 free sewing tutorials and patterns for kids’ pajamas

My little kids are obsessed with pajamas. I could make (or buy) them an entire wardrobe of new clothes and they wouldn’t be nearly as excited as they are about one pair of pjs. They especially love getting new pajamas on Christmas Eve, and I’m happy to accommodate since jammies are fun and easy to make. Since it’s time to start all that Christmas sewing, I’ve gathered up 21 FREE sewing tutorials and patterns for kids’ pajamas: pants, shorts, tops, nightgowns, and even a free robe pattern!
