Follow this simple tutorial for No Pattern Pajama Pants to make comfortable pajama pants using your favorite pajamas as a pattern.

I am  just a pajama kinda girl. I am not going to lie, one of my favorite perks of being a work at home mom is that I can call pajamas my uniform. That means my kids often follow suit and we have frequent pajama days where we work, clean house, and yes, nap in them. So what I am saying is we go through a lot of pajamas, so we have a lot of pajamas and our preference is soft flannel bottoms with a loose tee on top. I love making pajama pants myself because it is so easy and we can choose a wider variety of patterns from the fabric store, and it is generally costs much less. I simply trace another pair of pajama or cotton pants that fit well already to create my”pattern” and sew it together. I am planning on making the whole family a matching bottoms for Christmas.

No Pattern Pajama Pants Tutorial

Supplies: 

  • Old, good fitting pair of pajama bottoms.
  • Flannel
  • 1″ elastic
  • Sewing machine/thread

Directions:

First find a pair of great fitting pajama pants, fold them in half smoothing them out so they lay as flat and evenly matched as possible, lay them on top of double layer of fabric and trace. Give an extra 1/2″ down each side, 1″ at the bottom, and 2″ above the waist for seams. Flip them over and do the same thing on another piece of fabric.

Open pants, fold up each bottom hem 1/2″ and sew across one leg bottom at a time. Then place your two opened pieces together right side to right side and pin all the way around. Sew a 1/4″ seam beginning at the bottom of one leg, go up and around to the other side, and  all the way down. Sew up each side.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
