 I made 5 pairs of pajama pants in one a唂ernoon last week!  Can you believe that?
What you need:
2-3 yards of flannel fabric SUBSCRIBE

1/2 inch elastic (measured to your waist size)

pattern (found below) or…
 use your own by simply folding your favorite pj pants as shown and using them as a pattern.
Here’s my homemade pattern, it’s in a PDF format and it’s 8 pages…
Here’s each printable page:
pj pattern 1a C AT E G O R I E S
pj pattern 2a
pj pattern 3a
pj pattern 4 COOK (110)
pj pattern 5
pj pattern 6 DESIGN (28)
pj pattern 7
pj pattern 8 DIY (104)
I got my fabric at fabric.com.  They have a great assortment of flannels.
I think most of these prints are by Riley Blake. PAINT (53)
I get no kickbacks from telling you that.
Fabric.com is just a good fabric source, for your records. PUPS (8)
I ordered 2 yards for each pair of pjs but I’m kinda short and so are my daughters so you might need a little
more if you are making these in a larger or longer size. STITCH (47)
2 – 2.5 yards will make a pair of small sized pajama bottoms (same as Gap or Old Navy size small)

1. Print your pattern and tape it together as shown.  Then cut it out.
Take your fabric and fold straight.
Then lay the straight edge of pattern along the folded edge of fabric.
(see below – my pattern was originally made on brown paper)

 2. Take your pattern and turn it over and fold your fabric again, repeating the same cut with opposite side of
pattern.  A唂er cutting, this is what you will have…

 6. Now, turn the top edge of your waist under 1/4″ inch and sew all the way around, then turn it down 3/4″ and
sew around again – leaving enough room for elastic to fit inside (about 1.5 inch gap).
Do not sew completely closed.

 8.  Attach a safety pin to the end of your elastic (that has been cut to measure your waist size).

 9.  It is helpful to pin the opposite end at the waist just to keep it from slipping in and getting lost! S U B S C R I B E & F O L LO W
