How to Make a Pajama Pants Pattern

Pajama pants or lounge pants are extremely popular and fashionable with many different groups of people. Along with this popularity, unfortunately, comes high prices for these pajama pants if you buy them ready-made. The good news is that pajama pants are quite simple to sew. Learn how to make a pajama pants pattern from pajama pants you already have, and make some inexpensive and attractive pajama pants for a fraction of the price.

Things You'll Need

• Pajama Pants
• Inexpensive Wrapping Paper (one roll)
• Pencil
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Unroll approximately 4 feet of the wrapping paper onto a large, flat work surface so that the plain underside of the wrapping paper faces up.

2. 

   Fold the pajama pants in half and make sure that the crotch is extended fully on one side.

3. 

   Place the pajama pants onto the unrolled wrapping paper so that they can be fully extended and so there are a few inches of wrapping paper surrounding the pants on each side.

4. 

   Trace around the pants as close to the pants as possible. Trace around the pants again 1/2-inch larger than the first line to add a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Add 1 1/2 inches more along the waist edge and the bottom edge of the pants so that these two edges have a 2-inch seam allowance.

5. Cut out the pattern along the outer lines. This pattern piece will be the only piece necessary to make a pair of pajama pants.
