Valentine’s day is coming this weekend, and whether you love it or hate it, you must admit having something adorable to lounge around in makes any day that much sweeter. So I present to you the madeleine mini bloomers, a free sewing pattern that you can download! It takes only a yard of fabric (along with some elastic and ribbon), and an hour or two of sewing to whip up these pretties.
These are no prim and proper Victorian bloomers, as you can see. They sit low on the waist, and are scandalously brief. The back view is particularly flattering. The waistband is sewn with two rows of elastic, and the legs are cinched with a length of ribbon. With just two pattern pieces, a beginner who is comfortable with elastic and buttonholes can make these.
The pattern is put together like any Burdastyle pattern. You just print out the sheets and tape them together to form the pattern. It’s multi-sized for XS to XL, which encompasses the usual sizes 0-18 in Colette Patterns’ range.

Crazy cute! Thanks so much for the pattern. I’m totally going to sew up a pair (or two).

I made a pair last night in red with white polka dots, and black ribbon. Totally Minnie Mouse inspired, I love them so much! I feel like I need about 6 more in different colours…

[...] These were incredibly easy and gave me the courage to keep going. For some reason I thought even PJ shorts might get somewhat complicated, but I was wrong. These are definitely beginner friendly. You can download the pattern for free here. [...]

Totally LOVE this pattern! Can’t wait to try it out.
Weird thing though I printed out the test square and it’s coming up at 3.75″ not 4″.
Just a fyi.
Heidi, I believe this might have to do with your printer or your settings. It should print out at the right size, 4 inches, if the document is printed at 100%. If it doesn’t, it’s best to figure out why your printer is reducing the size; otherwise, the pattern will print out smaller than intended!
Ok, I’ll check it out. Thanks
Figured it out, had to fix my ‘Page Scaling’
Pattern printed perfect. :)
Thanks for the pattern! I wear these almost every day now!
WOW!
I love it – it’s look so good!
ooo la la! these are so dang cute! I can’t wait to bust out my machine this weekend and make a cute pair! Thanks for the pattern…
