The Cosy Adventures Men’s Pyjama Bottoms Kit features the popular Hudson Pants pattern by True Bias. This pattern is a relaxed, modern take on classic lounge trousers and a firm favourite for comfortable loungewear.
They’re designed for everyday comfort with a slightly dropped crotch, gently tapered leg, practical front pockets, and an elasticated waistband. The waistband is topstitched, meaning the elastic will never get twisted, and we’ve included coordinating drawstring for a professional finish.
In her top tips video Lauren demonstrates how to finish the drawstring with a thread toggle, for a special handmade touch. She also shows you how to adjust the pattern for a wider leg if you'd prefer a more traditional pyjama trouser look.
Paired with our new Guthrie & Ghani exclusive Cosy Adventures brushed-back French terry, this kit is perfect for sewing soft, cosy pyjama bottoms to wear all winter long. The fabric is a luxurious blend of bamboo, organic cotton and spandex, brushed on the reverse for warmth and softness, with a smooth front. With just the right amount of stretch for relaxing, lounging or sleeping, it’s easy to sew and ideal for both confident beginners and experienced makers.
The Hudson Pant makes a brilliant standalone project, but it also pairs perfectly with our Jeanne Pyjama Supplies Kit if you’d like to create a matching set for the whole family, or maybe one for a significant other! It would also look great with a coordinating t-shirt in one of our plain cotton jerseys - maybe with a cute Cosy Adventures pocket!
Printed exclusively for Guthrie & Ghani, the Cosy Adventures design is available in deep red, forest green and classic navy colourways. Each print features eleven native British animals, from the barn owl and red deer to the Welsh mountain pony and Irish black honey bee, all staying cosy dressed in adorable winter accessories.
Made from a premium blend of 66% bamboo, 28% organic cotton and 6% spandex, this brushed-back French terry has a smooth, soft front and a fleecy reverse. It's warm, stretchy and super cosy - perfect for pjs and loungewear! The fabric is easy to sew and doesn’t require pattern matching, making for a speedy pre-Christmas make.
Each kit includes coordinating 2 x 2 ribbing, for the pocket facing and cuffs, which gives a really professional finish. It is 95% cotton, 5% elastane and is OEKO Tex certified.

In her accompanying top tips video, Lauren walks you through the key stages of sewing your Cosy Adventures Hudson Pants. They’re an enjoyable project that’s perfect if you’re new to sewing with stretch fabrics or want to refine your loungewear-making skills.
You’ll learn how to:
- Work confidently with knit fabrics, with beginner-friendly tips on cutting and handling them
- Sew stretch fabrics on a regular sewing machine using Maraflex thread for stretchy seams, without the need for an overlocker
- Topstitch elastic neatly, ensuring a smooth waistband that looks professionally finished
- Add a neat touch to your drawstring with a thread toggle - a special G&G extra
- Adapt the pattern to widen the legs and omit the cuffs for a more traditional pyjama fit — another G&G adjustment.
- Get beautifully matched seams, with Lauren’s top tips
Once you’re finished, you’ll have a pair of cosy pyjama bottoms that are super soft, practical and handmade with love.
