- Place the right side of the FACING with the wrong side of the garment top and stitch. Fold the FACING to the right side, turn under the edges and topstitch close to the edge. Topstitch the upper edge at 0.1 cm.
- Overlap the right FRONT PANEL over the left, aligning the center lines and baste the lower edges.

- Fold the integrated FACINGS of the lower parts to the wrong side, turn under and press. Overcast the SEAM ALLOWANCES of the leg openings, press them to the wrong side and topstitch. Place the elastic TRIM STRIP with the leg opening and, stretching slightly, stitch with a zigzag stitch.
- Stitch the briefs to the upper part of the pajama. Press the SEAM ALLOWANCE downwards and topstitch it to form a casing. Thread elastic TRIM STRIP, equal to the waist circumference, through the casing.
- Fold the straps in half lengthwise with right sides together and stitch along the long sides. Turn the straps right side out, press and topstitch close to the edge. Sew the straps to the corners at the front, try on the pajama, adjust the length of the straps and sew them at the back according to the markings.
