Find Your Perfect Fit

The Naomi Sleep Set Sizing Guide is based on the suggested design & wearing ease for this style. You can also choose the size according to your desired finished garment measurements, blending between sizes as needed. Measure the printed patterns to make sure the dimensions are according to the desired fitting and adjust if needed before cutting the fabric. For best results, sew a test garment in a similar fabric to adjust your pattern.

Note: Always read all the instructions before cutting the fabric!

How to Sew The Naomi Sleep Set

The instructions provided below are designed to guide you through sewing the Naomi Sleep Set from start to finish.

2 Tips for Sewing with Cotton Poplin

⇒ Wash your fabric before you cut out your patterns. Cotton will almost always shrink in the wash, even if you use cold water and dry it on low heat. Just do yourself a favor and trust me so that you don’t accidentally shrink your sleep set to the point of it being unwearable.

⇒ Iron your fabric before cutting out your pattern. In addition to shrinking, cotton is also known to get easily wrinkled. A big wrinkle in your fabric could make your pattern cutting uneven.
