    Pajama pants are comfortable to make from soft fabrics like flannel or cotton. Key measurements needed include the waist, hips, inseam length, and crotch rise. To draft the pattern, measure these points and draw the front and back pieces, connecting points and adding seam allowances. The pants are then constructed in units - sewing the inseams, joining the front and back at the crotch, hemming the waist, and inserting an elastic or drawstring casing.

    Lesson 6: Pajama Pants Making

    About Pajamas
    Pajamas are fun to make, especially the soft flannel pajama pants. Pajamas can be made into pants, shorts,
    night shirts, or gowns.
    Best Fabric to use
    The best fabrics for pajamas are materials which
    "breathe". This means that, they don't make you sweat or hold moisture. Some suggestions are: light weight
    cotton, soft flannel, and silk.
    Taking Body Measurements
     You need the measurements of the waist, hips or seat, the desired length of the pajama pants, bottom
    or hem circumference and the crotch or rise.
     Things to remember in taking body measurements:
     4. Use flexible tape measure and pull it snugly but not too tight.
     5. Maintain good posture while your partner is taking your measurements.
     6. Measure the crotch by using an L-square or a flat chair and a tape measure.
     7. Record all measurements on a chart like the one below.
    How to Take Body Measurements Accurately
    1. Waist (w) - taken around the smallest part of the waistline. Insert two fingers under the tape measure for
    ease or allowance.
    2. Hip or seat (H) - taken around the fullest part of the hip (buttocks) with two fingers inserted under the
    tape measure.
    3. Length of Desired Pajama pants – measured along the side below the waist band to the desired length
    of the pants
    4. Desired Bottom or Hem Circumference or leg hole – taken around the fullest part of the bottom.
    5. Crotch or Rise – measured by placing a ruler under the crotch then measuring below the waistband down
    to the top of the level of the ruler.
    Drafting Patterns: Pajama Pants (Front and Back)
    1. Fold the pattern paper at the center.
    2. From the top edge of the paper, measure 5 inches downward & draw a line.
    3. Start with point A.
    4. A – B = Length of the pajama
    5. A – C = Crotch or rise measurement plus one inch for ease.
    6. C – D = ¼ of hip measure
    7. A – E = C – D
    8. Join C – D and A – E.
    9. Connect E – D.
    10. D – F = 2 inches.
    11. B – G = ½ of bottom width measurement
    12. Connect G and F.
    13. Join point I to point J with curve line passing through the midpoint of the DE.
    14. Connect J to G with a broken line.
    15. After drafting the front and back pattern, transfer the back pattern to the other folded part of the
    pattern paper.
    Back:
    EH = 1 inch
    HI = 1 inch
    FJ = 1 inch
     Provide the Seam Allowances
    Waistline Casing – 2 inches Side Seam – 1 inch
    Crotch Seam – ½ to ¾ inch Hemline – 2 inches
    Sewing the Pajama Pants Using the Unit Method
    Unit I – Joining the Inseams
     Pin the inseam and outside seam, baste and stitch, Use plain seam.
     Unit II – Joining the Crotch
     Crotch is marked with dotted line.
     1. Overlap the front and back, from one end of the waistline to the other end.
     2. Pin, baste and stitch.
     Unit III – Stitching the Waistline Hem
      Waistline hem is marked with dotted line.
     1. Fold the waist hem line to about one inch or more, depending on the width of our garter.
     2. Pin, baste and stitch.
     Unit III – Stitching the Waistline Hem
      Waistline hem is marked with dotted line.
     1. Fold the waist hem line to about one inch or more, depending on the width of our garter.
     2. Pin, baste and stitch.
     Unit V – Inserting and Sewing the Garter on the Waist
     Garter on the waist is inserted inside the hem and folded at the waist.
     1. Cut the garter 2 – 3 inches shorter than the waist measurement.
     2. Wind or attach one end of garter to a safety pin and insert inside the hem.
     3. Close the opening of the hem with stitches.
