Hi Vani, I would like some clarification from you i.e in the pyjama draft (Back)you mentioned that from B' measure B'-O = 1/4 Seat - (minus) One and a Half inch whereas for the Front you mentioned that B-J = 1/4 Seat + (plus) One and a Quarter inch let me know if this is ok sorry for the inconvenience caused.pls do reply at the earliest. Regards Esme
It is correct
Thanks Vani for your reply. I asked you this cos I had already cut the material and after tacking the pyjama i found that the waist was looking small now that you confirmed that the back is minus 1 1/2" I shall proceed & complete it. Now let me know how many inches should the elastic be. Measurements are Waist-19 & Hips -22 pls do reply. Regards Esme
keep the length of the elastic 1½” to 2" less than the actual measurement.This depends on the elasticity of the elastic you use.
Thanks Vani . God bless you
regards Esme

Hi Vani,how to make this a flat front back elastic waistband
Hi,dear Vani how can I make it with half elastic waistband.
Hello Mam..
I drafted the pyjama as per your instructions but when I came on the sewing part, I got confused with the back part of the pyjamas. Couldn't understand why point P should be raised up. Besides this the Points P-T-U were very deep due to which the seams that should have come at sides came behind. Can you please help where did I go wrong..
Dear Vani, please can you let me know how do you measure 'seat'?
Been searching for the method of making a draft since a very long time.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
Please read this post where I have explained the method of taking body measurements.
