Making Pajama Pants

Using your own pair as a pattern

1. CUT OUT:

Fold your fabric in half, right sides together. Take your own pajama pants and fold them in half. Lay them on your fabric. Cut around sides with a to seam allowance, or border. You need to add an extra 2 to the top and bottoms so you have extra fabric to hem the legs and make a casing for the elastic or drawstring. Take your pajama pants and flip g. them to fold them the other way, it will have a different curve for the crotch or center seam, and usually the back has a wider leg too.
**Notice the front curve of the center or crotch seam is shorter and less steep, where the back wh

is almost a J shape.

2. Sew Center Seams

With right sides together, sew the curve of the crotches for both the front and the back

3. Sew Inside of Legs

Unfold each side and put them right sides together. Pin the crotch together, and sew up one leg and down the other. *I will some times start at crotch and sew to ankle, then start at crotch and sew down other side

4. Sew sides
Pin sides together and sew each side.

5. Hem Pant Legs

Press the bottom of the legs up 2, then fold in half, so 1 is folded up, then fold again on the 2 press seam so it is folded over twice. Sew along the hem at or guide on fold.

6. Make Elastic Casing

Iron the top of pants over 2. Depending on how thick your elastic or drawstring is, youll fold over twice again, to make a tube for the elastic to go in. Add to the width of your elastic. Sew along casing but leave 2-3 unsewn to get 2 elastic in there.

7. Elastic
Take your elastic and measure around your waist until its comfy, cut it off with extra or so. Use a safety pin on one end of your elastic. Thread elastic through casing tube you created, until it comes out the other end of the hole you left. Take out safety fety pin and sew the ends of the elastic together. Tuck the elastic back up inside and sew the hold shut. YOUR FINISHED!!
