Who doesn't love fleece pajama pants? These are going to be Christmas gifts for my children, although, I may have to make myself a pair too! I may try to make them matching shirts, and probably a pillow case too. I didn't use a pattern, I used a currently fitting pair of jogging pants as a template. This is what I did:
Hem both legs. Here the picture shows everything finished except the waistband. Fold down the top 1/4 in larger than your elastic. I used 3/4 in elastic. Sew around the hem, leaving 2 inches not sewn. Use a large safety pin to thread your elastic through the waist. Sew the elastic together, overlapping an inch, using a zig zag stitch. Close the hole with a straight stitch, and you are finished!
So cute! Where do you find your fabric? I have a rough time finding cute fabric.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric came from JoAnn's. It's anti-pill fleece. JoAnn's has a really good selection of cute fleece and flannel. Sign up for their mailing list and you will receive flyers in the mail with coupons (or look in the Sunday paper). As a bonus, JoAnn's will let you use multiple (I've done 5) coupons in one transaction! I get coupons mailed to me, and I also get them through email, as well as the paper (and sometimes from my mom).
