Sew along with Pamela! This combo Pattern and full-length Virtual Workshop will guide you through every aspect of making this wardrobe essential.
Combine a gorgeous robe and flowy pants for a nighttime ensemble too pretty to wear just for bed.
The robe or topper will look as good with jeans and a T‑shirt as it will for relaxing at bedtime. Made entirely on the serger, it features a front band, tie belt, drop shoulder and wide "faux" cuffs. 4‑thread seaming, secured ends, unique straight hemming, and belt points will all be shown – skills that will translate handily into future projects.
The flowy no-side-seam pants have many possibilities. Leave them wide at the hem or turn them into a jogger-style hem. The waist is a comfy elastic and can be made with or without a ruffly top edging. Cut them shorter, and you have adorable "shorties"! Made with a serger and a sewing machine, you won’t believe how fast these go together. And who says you can’t make them into daytime beachy pants? Nobody!
Intimidated by the serger? Don't be! Pamela's Virtual Workshop will guide you through every step of the process. You will be a serger pro by the end of the project!
From Bonnie G. - "I just now finished watching the Virtual Workshop, and I will say, it is one of the best, most clearly explained sew-alongs I have ever viewed. You did a beautiful job with the video, and it was truly easy to understand. I loved the hemming technique, and also the elastic waistband techniques, both versions. And the camera work was awesome."
