after making dad a million pairs of fleece pants, it was time for me to make myself a pair, seeing as the green monkey flannel pj pants i made myself a couple years ago is wearing very thin in the knees. as a pattern, i used the same old pair of pj pants that i used to make the 3 pairs of kenya gauze cotton pants. why mess with something that works, right?
i scored this flannel a couple years ago at joann fabric's black friday sale for something like $1.25 a yard. for you non-sewists (ok that's like all of you except shirley, hehe), this is ridiculously cheap. i bought 1.5 yards, so this pair of pants cost me $1.88!!! i made a faux drawstring for the front:
i tried my best to line up the stripes on the sides... until the hips and booty part, at least. not bad, right?
and the back. nice lined-up v's! (i need to learn some photography, yo. these pics are so blurry.)
i serged the insides and topstitched each seam for extra stability (i've been known to split the booty of my pants). quite proud of the quality of these pjs. the fabric for this project was also cut this spring. ashamed!! making good progress on my stack of old projects! last up is the last puppy, for my friend's friend's baby. his bday party is on my bday. little guy is #stealingmythunder
