These are a great way to enter making clothing.  I have a way to make these very quickly.  You can finish them in one class.  Or, they can be to the point, in that time, where you can finish them at home.

 

You will find your size on the pattern, use your measurements as retail sizing is different than pattern sizes. For the PJ pants, you need your hip measurement, as the waist is cinched in by the elastic.  We can adjust the length of the pants when we cut them out, or after they are done.  

 

This is the pattern I will have available.  If you are doing this class in conjunction with making the Bathrobe, you can use the PJ pant pattern that comes in the same envelope as the robe.  

 

What you will learn:

  • How to measure yourself.  Make changes to the pattern to fit you better.
  • How to prep your pattern and make changes to the pattern to fit you better
  • How to layout and cut your pattern
  • How to sew curves
  • How to efficiently sew the PJ pants
  • If wanting to use a drawstring, I will show you how to make buttonholes
  • Pre-pressing the hems and casings before sewing the leg seams
  • What I will teach you, is not in the pattern instructions.  Do not do anything before the class, except prewashing your fabric.

 

This is a project that, on average, would be completed in one 4 hour class.  Most of the photos I can find, of past students making PJ pants are the young people.  But, I have had adults make them.  In fact, I recently made a pair for my mom, and my sister, and forgot to photograph both of them!

 

That is an additional fee of $10 for the pattern, elastic, and drawstring ribbon, if needed.  This would take about 4 hours.
