Bring beauty to your loungewear drawer with the Nocturne – a moonlighting top and pants set that takes you from daytime adventures to nighttime cozy, depending on your fabric choice. With a touch of whimsy in its details, the Nocturne shines in both drapey fabrics that flow freely around your body, or in sturdier fabrics such as cotton flannel, yarn-dyed cotton, and linen.

The Top features gathers, a V-notch at the neckline, and a slight high-low hem to add a touch of whimsy. Choose between three sleeve lengths, and lengthen it into a darling tunic or nightgown.

For the Pants, you have two waistband choices: View A has a high rise with a paper bag detail at the waistline. View B has a lower rise that sits below the natural waist and has a standard waistband. Both Views feature elastic in a casing at the waist, straight legs that can be pegged and rolled up and optional side seam pockets.

This pattern is suitable for beginners, and is part of our Learn to Sew Your Clothes course series.
