Mini Munchkin PJ Pants

So project number 2 (July 2010) was a pair of PJ paints for my little munchkin man. While I was checking out the sewing aisle in Big W, after I got over the shock that Big W had a sewing aisle, I found some lovely flannelette in an army style print. There was just enough to make a pair of pants.

So after searching the wonderful world of google I found a few different ways to make a pair of pants. I settled on tracing a pair of pants, making sure to add a little more fabric for a seam allowance.

Attempt one of sewing I some how manage to make a strange flannelette army skirt. After lots of giggles, a cup of tea, a little bit more thought and some time consuming unpicking (lucky I bought a quick unpick doobalacky) I tried again and succeeded.

To make the elastic at the top I cut a small slit in the waist band, got a piece of elastic and just stretched it around little munchkin man and took a guess at how much I would need. Then I just threaded it through with the use of 2 safety pins and sewed the ends together.

Here are the finished PJ pants modelled by my cheeky munchkin.
