I had a great experience making my pajama pants. I have a pair of pajama pants that I got a few years back which I loved and lost. The thing I loved most about them was how long and soft they were. I wanted to create a similar product with my project. I selected a soft material which I would enjoy and considered to make the length a few inches longer so they would last me longer. I came across a problem while making the waist band. I sewed the stitch smaller than the width of the elastic. Therefor I had to rip out the stitches and re-sew the stitch to the correct size. I used the pattern which was provided and Mrs.Munroes step by step instructions for a patch pocket on the back. Next time I would improve on my patch pocket as it was not perfectly lined up to my liking. Overall, I really enjoyed sewing my first piece ever.
