Continuing Pajama Pant Sew Storm
December 7, 2009 12:50 am sewingSomebody needs to remind me that when I actually plan to sew, real life always interferes! I had forgotten this, and actually planned to sew one day last week, but of course, I didn’t get to sew a stitch on that day. 
I am happy to report that on many days when I don’t plan to sew, real life doesn’t seem to care. 
Pajama pants are always fun and easy to sew, and they make great gifts. After finishing the raw edges, the firs step is to sew the inner leg seam and press it open over a seam roll. The next step is just as easy. Sew the side, or outer leg seam, press it as stitched, and then press the seam open.
After you have sewn the side seams, you will have two separate pajama pants legs. This is where the fun begins because now you are ready to sew the crotch seam. Stay tuned for the answer to the mysteries of sewing a crotch seam on a pair of pajama pants. 
In the meantime, here is a link that will take you to a tutorial, complete with pictures, for sewing shorts. The sewing techniques are the same for shorts or for pj pants.

No, I haven’t posted the pic of my apron yet. Thanks for reminding me. I had a whole project photographed and was trying to put them on the computer when somethine went wrong and all my pictures were erased! I plan on sewing that same project soon, but now I have to photograph everything all over again and hope the camera and the computer both behave! LOL
