Hi Janelle! Thank you so much for this video. I just started learning to sew, and my first ever project was these shorts! I have made 2 pairs of PJ shorts for two of my friends using your pattern and video. They both love them! Thanks so much for helping new people like me get into sewing!

@dp_md 8 ай бұрын

TIPS: Fold your fabric with slavage ends together and flip the printed side of the front pant stencil down. Back side stays printed side up. If you like to wear your pjs at the hip, remove 3 inches from the top part of both front and back stencil. I also added 3 inches to the length on both. I definitely used more than 1 yard for this with the size 4. Design runs pretty big.

@calliehagood 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for this. I'm making an 8-10 size right now any I'm having to make adjustments. I'm REALLY short waisted so the crotch on these wouldn't start until halfway down my thighs. I'm playing around with the pattern to take out some of the middle and I'll probably add on a bit of length as well. ❤

@TotallyxKatiee 3 ай бұрын

@@calliehagoodI’m pretty long wasted and the size 4 is very high waisted on me. It’s okay because I like high waisted pants and wanted that, this is honestly a trial run as first attempt at pants and this seemed easy enough. If you’re short waisted you’ll probably have to take a lot off of the top.

@calliehagood 3 ай бұрын

@TotallyxKatiee I took quite a bit off the top. 4 inches at least. My "waist" from the top of my hip bone to the bottom of my ribs is only about 1". 😂 thankfully I have long legs.

Your style is what I look for but so hard to find or it costs much more than I am willing to pay. Making it would be great. You get to pick out everything. Sleeves, neckline, length, fullness, fabric, etc. I look forward to sewing with confidence soon thanks to you. Thank you for your generosity.

I think your pacing is really good - you show every step in detail while still keeping it short enough to not tire or overwhelm anyone. I love your style and way of talking, too. all in all, thank you very much! started sewing last year and unfortunatewly not in possession of a printer, but I'm gonna go and try to draft my own shorts pattern and do it anyway!

For a “tag” so that she could discern front vs back, When I used to sew my little ones play skirts, I would take a 2 or 3 inch piece of 1/4 inch ribbon. fold it into a loop and sew the cut ends into the stitch of the waist. Nothing special but did its job. ☺️

@nachodan86 3 ай бұрын

I have made 3 pairs of these now, they’re great. The sizes are quite generous so I went for the smallest size for me (10-12 in ready to wear sizing) and they are still large, but not too big. A waist tie works well if you sew two buttonholes in the front waistband and thread twill tape through. Two of the pairs I made for males and didn’t have to adjust the pattern as the shorts are so roomy. They like them. I also moved the pocket bags up by about an inch as otherwise you can see them poke out from the shorts when your hands are in them and I don’t love that. Otherwise great free pattern, thanks Janelle!
