Sewing Pajama Pants

Sewing Pajama Pants

Peace Fam Bam!

My daughter has been growing like a bean stalk. They older she gets, the harder it is for me to find decent clothing in the stores for her. Call me old fashion, but I prefer for little girls to look like little girls. What is with all this lace, med drifts, short shorts and skinny pants in the children sections? I mean really, they are just out of Kindergarten. 

She has been one of  my major motivations to hone my sewing skills. One of the patterns I chose to work on to jump into the sewing world again was for a child’s pajama pant. I used Pattern It’s so Easy- Simplicity W0179. It was $1.97. The material was bought at Wally World (Walmart) for about $2 per yard. 

This pattern took about 3 hours to make. It can probably be done within an hour or two, if you don’t have a busy body toddler running around, and have access to a Serger. I used my overlock foot and stich to finish my seams. I wasn’t ready for pockets just yet so I omitted them LOL.  If you have any tips or good instructional videos on pockets, leave me a line below. I would like to master them one day.

My next pattern I want to tackle is for a child’s coat. Wish me luck!
