Jan, really good video about placing , and cutting out a pattern. Great instruction, information about how to lengthen, or shorten the pant leg. ( I always have had to shorten mine.) You even show how to measure to the selvage line, to make sure the grainline is straight. I learned these skills from my mother and I appreciate you still teaching the "right" way. (they way I was taught, anyway!)Many of the videos I have watched cut the notches into the seamline, rather than outward? One more tip learned from Mom- when you are sewing the "hole" left for the elastic. add a piece of ribbon or some type of tag to identify the back of the pants. Makes it much easier when you are putting them on.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE A PATTERN BUT AM NOT REALLY GOOD AT READING PATTERNS, SO THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH. AGAIN, THANK YOU
I am also not really talented,but I try a lot and it's getting better, so don't give😊👍. Stay strong 💪 and enjoy.
@@Barbie-dl5gu THANK YOU BARBIE. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE ENCOURAGEMENT. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.
@@jenihansen7201 happy Christmas to you, too🎉🌹😃👍. We have other hollidays but I know a little about Christmas 🎄 and it seems very happy 😊. May ALLAH protect you 💞👍.
you are so welcome
We just used this video to help us with my sons school project of making pajama pants. The teacher gave us instructions that were beyond confusing. We are so thankful we found your video!
Glad it was helpful!
This is absolutely the BEST video I've seen for making PJ pants (or any sewing, really). Thank you so much for your clear, concise instructions. You should have a billion subscribers! 🙂
Wow, thank you!
I love your way to work 💞☺️👍. It is so tidy and clean. Thank you for being in our lives 😊💖, we love you.
oh, you are so kind!
@@JanHowell and you are honest in teaching the best way🥰👍. May ALLAH protect you and give you all the happiness in your 💜 heart 🌹🌺💖🎉.
Like the idea of using hot hemmer which is new to me It has been 40 years since I last sewed PJs for my children so your tips are updating how I assemble PJs for the now adult children.. Your well thought out presentation is appreciated.
You are so welcome
Great job but. I’m all about the easy. I leave my fabric like I got it off the bolt. Then I pin my stripes or plaids and match a certain places on the pattern such as the marks or crotch. Thank you for your time. May God bless all your days with so much goodness.
You are so welcome. Have a blessed day
Your voice is easy to listen to and understand as you are giving instructions.
Why thank youQ
This all made so much sense and you make it all so simple to follow. I also love hearing the sound of the scissors cutting, reminds me of sewing with my grandmother. Thank you for all you do Jan. 💗🕉️🐞
Hey thanks Lala. Merry Christmas!
Thank you! A lot of pattern instructions sound so complicated. You explained the steps and techniques so clearly, it all makes sense now.
You are so welcome.
I have been making pj's for many years. It is always enjoyable to watch someone like yoy and learn something new. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome
Great video! I always leave my opening just off the center back so I don't have to deal with the seam when sewing the opening closed. Love all the info!
What a great idea!!!! I'm going to do that from now on.
Great idea
I have traced nearly every pattern I have used; totally worth it, as I make items for family and friends. I use the gridded pattern tracing fabric, again, worth it.
I think I better mark front and back on my fabric.....I can easily get confused 😅🤷🏾♀️
That's a great idea!
Thank you for this tutorial. I love how you show the actual sewing or result of your sewing so we see what to expect. I want to sew my first flannel pants. I appreciate all the effort you put into your tutorials. Thank you again!
You are so welcome
Thank you for your great instructions! I appreciate you so much. Love the pajama pants!
Thank you and you are so welcome!
Thank you for your clear, step-by-step instructions. I’m an experienced sewist, but had trouble figuring out pockets on my own. This made it crystal clear! Thank you!
You are so welcome
Great instructions! Thank you 🙏. I love how you sewed the top of the pockets to the waistband! Perfect! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you, Jan. Another demystifying video!
You are so welcome.
Excellent video! Thank you so very much for sharing your time and expertise ❤
you are so welcome
I also use the pants pattern to make muslin pantaloons to wear under my long dresses or skirts in the summer instead of wearing a slip. Living in a very windy area like Kansas, when the wind blows up your skirt or dress, someone will only see something that looks like clown pants. I sew some narrow elastic an inch from the hem. They are cute for all ages of girls and women. 🤡
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. Cannot wait to give it a try. ❤
let me know how it goes

I have to say of all the videos that I have watched, I just came across yours, you are fantastic, your explanations and pictures are perfect, I have been making pjs or years and always have trouble getting the pockets right. Your video was so thorough, you just made another fan. Thank you
Wow, thank you!

Very good instructions and video, I had my pieces cut but I was not sure where to start, Very helpful. I also wanted to ask which serging stitch was used - 4T or 3T? I just starting to use a serger and the PJ pants will be my first project on the new serger.
You’re sew 💫awesome 😅I sew appreciate you❣️🌻
😊 thank you
Very good easy to undertand
Glad to hear that
Great vidoe
Thanks
Fantastic
Thanks
Thank you for this. I think I'm shrinking and this was an easy tutorial to follow, to adjust a way too long pattern for 4' 9" me lol x
Glad it was helpful!
I made a few pairs of pajama pants 3 years ago. Then last month I was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, and put on meds that make me gain weight. It’s because I was 98lbs from the unknown Graves’ disease when I made those pajama pants. The anti thyroid meds only put you back to the weight you used to be before graves. Now I have to make new ones in a larger size.
I always have to adjust the crotch curve on the pants patterns to fit the butt that people say I don’t have.
That's nice you know how to adjust the crotch. Wishing you better health and a good 2024
@@JanHowell Thank you.
Especially stitching in the ditch to keep the elastic from rolling.
yes
Great video. Should you always machine wash your fabic before sewing? Especially flannel?
yes, I do recommend pre-washing, especially flannel.
Washing and drying
I know there are many PJ patterns out there, but would you mind sharing the one you used? I like the fit! I recently made 5 out of 4 free PJ pants pattern and now after watching your video I think my next pair will be easier and fun to make!
it's a Simplicity pattern
You're so AWESOME! CAN you do a video with pockets in front and back with invisible zippers? My sons need zippers!
I will put that on the list :)
Great tutorial thanks. Men usually have a buttoned fly. How would you incorporate that into the PJs?
You can find a pattern that has that option. Some do, and some don't.
beautiful video I whish you would film a full video tutorial for your babylock sewing machine?please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much
I'll work on that. Do you have a babylock?
Could you make flannel sleeping shorts with this pattern? Same technique but shorter?
absolutely. Just use the method I showed you in the video for shortening the pattern. Works really well for shorts.
Great video! Do you have a pattern for the adult pants?
I don't, sorry
Hello Jan. I want to make a PJ Pants for my hubby. Which pattern are you using? So I can follow you along.
This was a Simplicity pattern. I wasn't 100% thrilled with it and tried to design my own, but I don't have time right now to do that. Wish I could direct you to a decent pattern. There are a lot of free pattern online and youtube vids showing how to make your own pattern from an existing pair of sweat pants or comfy pants. So many vids and patterns to construct, but so little time. Most patterns are workable especially if they are just baggy pj pants. Let me know if you find one that works well.
Great video but can I ask, is there any reason why you didn't finish the edge to the pocket with a zigzag or overlock stitch? Thanks
I used pinking shears instead. That will also keep the fabric from fraying.
You said you cut each piece one at a time. Can the back piece and the front piece be cut twice? And do they have to be right sides together on the front and the back pattern pieces?
If cutting two at a time, say of the front piece. The fabric needs to right sides together or wrong sides together. If you don't, you'll have two front pieces facing the same direction. You need a left & right piece. I hope that makes sense. The only reason I cut one at a time is because I was lining up the stripes and plaid.
Hello, why couldn't you have doubled up your material and cut the pattern out that way for two pieces to be sewn together? Thank you and Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year to you!
Because the fabric had a plaid print. If it didn't you could absolutely do that.
@@JanHowell Thank you and a Happy New Year to you.
I how are you . I am Germany but i live in Canada. Do you please can help me how to say saeuming stick is. You did it on the Pajama Pants. Thank you claudia
I'm sorry, but not quite sure what you are asking.
Hello Jan. I am Wanda and a new subscriber. My husband asked me to make him pajama bottoms but instead of elastic he wants draw strings. It looks as if I can do exactly as you have done here but add draw string, Do you agree?
If you want a drawstring, you'll need to create some holes in the front center casing. You could sew two button holes before you flip and sew the casing. I hope that makes sense. Looks like another tutorial needs to be made for drawstring. Let me know how it goes.
@@JanHowell Thank you so very much
I have a question. Did you use the same pattern piece to cut the front and the back?
Ignore my question. I just saw the next part.
Not on this pair. Because of the pocket, you have to sew a separate front and back. On my child pattern, there is just one piece that includes the front and back. czcams.com/video/PTS2IhtOStE/video.html
Want to learn
You got this!
is it best to lay the pattern lengthside? or widthside?
To do what? Cutting?
The leg should run from top to bottom on the grain of fabric.
How can I do a easy fix on a pair of pajama pants with a drawstring
Are you wanting to add a drawstring or take it out?
I bought a pajama pants pattern years ago and made it for my teenager. I cut the pattern out and realize that I totally wasted it because now I wish I had a pajama pants pattern for myself. I had no idea about tracing patterns at the time.
Hope it works well for you.
Where can I find this pattern?
This was a simplicity pattern.
What pattern did you use?
This was a simplicity pattern. S9202 Honestly, I wasn't' 100% thrilled with it. I was in the middle of making my own pattern but don't have the time right now to finish it so I resorted to this. There are a lot of free patterns online out there, and ways you can design your own pattern from an existing pair of pants or sweats on CZcams you may want to check out. Let me know if you find a good one. This pattern is doable.
I just used simplicity S9202 also. I didn’t like it either.
@@JanHowell that's a great idea! Thank you. I'm looking forward to you making a pattern one day too.
i can't find the pajama pattern Where do I go to print it?
I only have a child/youth pattern. youmakeitsimple.com/2023/01/05/how-to-sew-a-knit-cuff-to-pants-and-sleeves-the-easy-way/
