Patch Pockets On My Pajama Pants And The Party Is Over

    Dear daughter decided that she wanted a pocket on the pajama pants I made her.  I added a patch pocket onto her pants by cutting two 6.5" squares, fussy cutting for pretty designs and checking for directional fabric.  I sewed the two squares together right sides together on three sides leaving one side open.  I clipped all the corners, and turned it right side out, turning the open end edges in and making that the bottom edge of the pocket.  I placed the pocket on the top of the right hand leg and sewed it on three sides.  The patch pockets look cute and you can now tell which side of the pants are the front.  I ended up adding a patch pocket to all of my pajama pants as well.

    Here are the last four pair of pajama pants I made for myself.  All told, I have made seven pair of pajama pants since Saturday.  This was a fun project and the product is completely perfect.  So comfy and warm.  And the pajama pants party is over.  On to a new project.

    You can't go wrong with pink polka dots.

The Start Of My Pajama Pants Party

   I made pajama pants and I'm going to make more in the next couple of weeks.  I bought some flannel and 1" elastic earlier this year and just remembered I had it last month, so I cut three pair of pajama pants out one morning in about forty five minutes.   I will have six pair of pajama pants when this party is over.

    I used Simplicity pattern 8022 (one pattern piece) and I cut the large adult size which is nice and roomy.  I'm giving this pattern a big thumbs up. 

   From serging the edges to hemming the legs it took me an hour and twenty minutes to finish a pair of cute, cute, cute pajama pants.  This is definitely a project I can work on at night after work and get it done.  So fun.

     These Dachshund doggies are ultra adorable.  I'll share the rest of my pajama pants as I get them made.
