Simplicity 9886 - Pajama Pants

This pattern is a Sewing for Dummies pattern and I use it all the time for my pajama pants. It is a one piece with an inseam only. Quick and easy. I use it for all 4 of my daughters, I just change the amount of my seam allowance. On Saturday the twins and I bought flannel at Joann's (on sale $2 a yard) and it is all sewn up. Two pair for each of the twins and one pair for 18 year-old daughter. College girl doesn't need any pajamas, so I will make her a purse or send her an i-Tunes card.


This pair was made my the older twin, M is a whole 4 minutes older, and she loves to sew. I think she did a great job.

    Sleep pants are so pretty! Please tell M that she did a great job on the sewing. Is she the twin that loves to cook or is that the "younger one". Your girls are special.

    If memory serves me right, your twins are about the same age as my youngest, who is 11. How long has she been sewing? I think all hope is lost for my two older ones, and I probably should have started the youngest one earlier. I *did* have her do some beading for a friends Christmas present, and that went well, so . . .
    I'm impressed, and thinking I should just buy that pattern (if it's still available - I assume it's a Simplicity, and (darn the luck) they were just on sale!) instead of trying to get a multiple of other patterns to work.

  3. great PJ pants! Your daughter did a nice job on hers. I love all the fabrics you chose.

    I have been looking for a one-seam pajama pant. I was bummed to see this one is discontinued although it is available at ebay.

  4. This makes me soooo ashamed. I have mobs of flannel purchased to make new pj pants for youngest DD and still haven't gotten to it! Yours are wonderful, though!
