Thuy Phan shares a fabulous guide on how to sew a DIY summer set or pajama set, walking you through drafting a custom pattern directly from your own measurements with no printing required. This matching co-ord is way too cute to keep behind closed doors – cut it in breezy linen, cotton, or drapey viscose, and it doubles as an effortless warm-weather outfit.

The unlined top has a clever hidden detail: you can slip built-in breast cups right into the bodice facing, making it completely bra-free and comfortable for hot days. It pairs with relaxed elastic-waist shorts that feature roomy side pockets for everyday practical wear. Whether you style it as a chic daytime set with sandals or wear it as lightweight loungewear for sleeping, the straightforward steps make it totally beginner-friendly. Grab some soft fabric and stitch up this versatile DIY shorts set for sunny days ahead!
