Fabric/Sizing
Directions:
All seams are ⅝" seam allowance. Make sure your fabric has been washed, dried, and ironed prior to cutting.
Download, assemble and cut out the pattern. This pattern does have layering enabled to allow you to print only the size/sizes you want to print. You will notice there is a pocket piece included. That will be an optional piece that I will show you how to add in the video.
- Cut the pattern pieces out of the fabric You should have two front and two back pieces.
2. With right sides together stitch front to back at inner leg seams
3. With right sides together, pin center seam of leg seams, stitch.
To reinforce, use the reinforced stitch or stitch over the first stitching again.
4. Stitch front to back at side seams.
At this point, your pants should be looking very much like pants!
5. The waistband is a fold-over waistband. Fold over the fabric 1.5". Sew around the waistband area leaving a 1-2" opening to insert the elastic
6. Sew the inside leg seam. Start at the bottom of one leg and sew around to the other leg.
7. Insert the elastic through the opening
8. Overlap the elastic by 1" and then stitch the two elastic ends together
9. Close up the opening in the waistband
10. Turn the hem under on each leg and sew.
The instructions listed here are very basic instructions since detailed instructions are given in the videos that come with the pattern.
I'm sure I must have missed it somehow but where are the sizes listed. What hip size is Large, etc. Thank you for the pattern, can't wait to try it.
You didn't miss it. I've been working on this series while getting ready for nursing finals. I'm slowly getting everything up. I finished recording the videos this morning. Tomorrow I'll finish editing them and get them uploaded along with the sizing grid and other info. I wear a size 6 and the medium is a great fit. These pants are meant to be roomy but I'll show you how to alter the legs to make them more narrow if desired.
Thank you Margaret. By the way, your Serger course is very helpful.
I'm glad you think so! There will be a few new videos added before the end of the year.
Hi just wondering about the pattern as I am trying to get it and it wants to charge me $6.00 for shipping ? I thought it was a downloadable pattern
Thanks for letting me know. I've fixed the problem. You will not be charged for shipping on any of the patterns now.
Thank! I love wearing pants like that at home. They are very comfortable! now I will sew them myself
Is the free download for the pajamas pant available still? I am unable to see pdf. Thanks
Yes, it is. https://shop.letslearntosew.com/collections/ladies/products/ladies-lounge-pajama-pants
Is the same extra small size 2.5? I can’t see the decimal
Can knit fabric be used with this pattern?
