How to sew pajama pants and shorts

Рет қаралды 472,744

Күн бұрын

Sewing a pair of pajama pants (or shorts) is easy, fun, and one of those beginner projects I come back to ALL the time. My kids are always growing! So they always need pjs! And for this project I partnered with Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store, which has an amazing selection of flannel fabrics that make awesome, snuggly, lounging pants. Ahhh! I just want to buy all the fabrics! So many cute prints.
The pattern used in this video is the KID Shorts pattern found here on my site:

For all your fabric and craft needs, visit your local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store, or check them out online:

And visit the Creative Spark blog (hosted by Jo-Ann) for tons of cool ideas and tutorials:

You can also find more MADE Everyday projects on my site:

Safety Note: If you're concerned about the safety of your flannel fabric, you can use FireGuard spray by Force Field, which is available in-store at Jo-Ann.

just a little helpful tip for anyone who needs it: use old wrapping paper to make sewing patterns if you need big pieces of paper!

That works great too! Especially the kind with the grid lines on the back. 😊

I want to share a hack that worked well for me. I wanted the look of drawstrings, but I wanted the ease of elastic to pull the pants on and off. Also I happened to only have about four inches of elastic on hand at that time. So I cut my drawstrings the length I wanted for them to circle the waist, tie in front, and dangle nicely. Then I cut them in half and attached each half to one end of the elastic. Then when I threaded the whole thing through I had the adjustability of drawstrings, but only had to tie them once and then I could pull the pants on and off easily over my hips because of that little bit of elastic in back. This was especially useful to me during a pregnancy when my waist measurement kept changing so much. Just cut the pajama pants with plenty of extra room and gather them up close when you're littler and ease them out as you need it!

I made a pair for my daughter last night and used a pair of her current pjs as a pattern. I used a 1/2” zipper which wasn’t ideal but I completed the project. Definitely will be making more with an 1” wide elastic.

I did a sewing course at school many many years ago and we used old X-rays ( where we easily wiped off the ink with methylated spirits) and used them to cut patterns. Very sturdy and lasted indefinitely.

I make the basic shorts using this method. I remade shorts to go with an outfit that I made for my 4 yr old daughter from a pattern because the pattern shorts have huge legs and very small inseam. These are so much better! I also lengthened the hem on the girl shorts by a couple of inches.

Complete beginner here (I know how to use my sewing machine, but dressmaking is completely new to me). Purchased your pattern yesterday, found a cute old cotton duvet cover that had been stored away since my eldest (11) was little, cut it up and I’ve just followed your tutorial and made a pair for my 5 year old. I’m so incredibly thrilled with the result!! Just waiting for the elastic to arrive for the waistband, but they look great! Thank you so much for your amazingly straightforward, yet perfectly detailed videos. First day dress next! We’re going to look like the Von Trapps before lockdown is over 🤣

Hi Dana I’m watching your tutorials from Canada. I have your shorts pattern and love how they turned out. I’m going to make the day dress next. All these are for charity. One question I have, the way you made the pj’s from the shorts pattern by putting the front and back seams together and cutting out as two pieces instead of four, could the shot be made and put together in the same way? Thank you. Dec 20, 2022
