Sewing Pattern

Used multiple times. Unisex

First the bad...My biggest complaint for this and really ANY sewing pattern that says "EASY", is that they assume you know things already. If you are going to mark something as easy, at least print all the information you will need if you are just starting out and this is your first project.I don't know why this is so hard for pattern makers, I hope this changes in the future as it can be frustrating, and discouraging to people who are just starting their sewing journey.The good:I did manage to get through this project with no prior sewing experience but it took me a while. I like the way it came out and fit, they look good. I made copies of this pattern in Medium and Small with Pellon's 830 Easy pattern. Just putting this in there for people who are also wondering how you can keep your original pattern in tact, with something that is more durable for your pattern copies. I also like that I can iron it again, something I don't think I would do if I had used paper like I see some sewers doing to save money.The biggest piece of advice I can give to new sewers like myself is, look for patterns that people have made on YouTube that walk you through it, a lot of them will go over the things that these pattern makers are not which is extremely useful. For this pattern look for Pink Knitwit on youtube just plug in the pattern number and you will find her. Bless this sweet woman for helping the noobs.Good luck on your sewing journey!

Easy to understand

Easy to understand walks you through step by step. Not to much different than the ones Grandma & I did in the 70's & 80's

A friend of mine laughed at me when I exclaimed I had found my old Scooby-Doo pajamas. She laughed again when received a pair for herself, and again when she found out we had matching pajama pants

I bought this pattern because I want pockets in my pj pants. The pattern is very easy to follow - I’ve sewn for 50 years, but never anything advanced. And this is similar to a he first garment I made way back then.But as others have said, the pants come out huge! If you are using a pattern like this, odds are you’re like me, not terribly advanced, and possibly not very good at judging the fit prior to putting it together.I did think they looked a bit big, but being unsure how much ease they would need, I only went down one size. I did take an inch off the inseam because I’m short, most probably won’t need to do that. The rise fit alright.The first pair was still enormous and very baggy in the legs. I cut it down another size, and tapered the leg by another 2” front and back.I have done the same for the front pocket style and side pocket styleIt’s a fun and quick make, but do some measuring beforehand and adjust it.

I am an intermediate-level sewer. I was able to make pants for the whole family (5 pairs) in about 10 hours. Simple and easy to understand.

Very simple pattern. Made 4 different sizes of pj’s in two days and that included tracing out the patterns for each size. I chose to use a drawstring instead of elastic.
