I need to make up some flannel ones next! I made these with a simple cotton and I LOVE the pockets. Pockets make everything better!

Womens Pj / Lounge Pants Free Pattern
These pants have a soft knit waistband for extra comfortable relaxing and sleeping. Make with cotton, flannel or even try with a knit for a super comfortable pair of Pj/Lounge pants that you won’t want to take off.
IF I ever just spent the day lounging around and reading.. I would wear these pants. {ha!} I used a super soft knit for the waistband. This makes the waistband super easy. You can also choose to make the slightly more difficult waistband from the Short Pj version, and the tutorial will give you instructions for switching to that one if you want.

How to sew Womens Pajama pants with a free pattern –
Alright! Let’s sew!! Go grab your Womens Pj / Lounge Pants Free Pattern from my shop. All seams use a 3/8 seam allowance for all seams. NOTE! these pants are designed to have wide flowing legs, if you want a more narrow leg take the bottom of the leg in 2 sizes and then angle up to the correct size at the inseam…
Use this size chart to decide which size to make! {in inches} It’s the same as the short version – so if you’ve made that, the sizing should be the same. 3 yards of cotton/flannel fabric will be needed for these pants. If you choose the knit waistband you will need a bit of knit for that. 
If you are choose the other waistband method {from the short version!} cut the band as directed on THAT pattern, not this one. You need 1.5″ wide elastic for these pants.
Begin by placing the back to the back and the front to the front, right sides together. Sew the center curved seams. I used a serger/overlocker a seam on a regular sewing machine will look a bit different.
How to add pockets to pajama / pj pants –
Take the front of the pants and place 1 pocket piece 1″ down from the top of the pants. Do on both sides of the front. Sew the pocket to the pants on the straight edge/side of pants pocket. Repeat this step with the back of the pants. You now have a pocket piece sewn on each side of both the front and the back of the pants.
Place the front and back pants together, with right sides touching. Pull out the pockets to create wings on both sides of the pants. Sew down the 1″ at the top and then AROUND the pocket, and continue down the side of the pants to the bottom.
Sometimes I have to re-enforce the top and bottom of the pocket as the corners may be harder to sew.
Now sew the inseam together. Match the center seams and pin both legs, right sides together. Sew 
Here’s how the waistband looks on the short version – if you want to make this one {it’s more difficult} go get the details in the post here.
Pajama pants / pjs with knit waistband for ultimate comfort –
This more simple version, and very comfortable, is this easy easy waistband with knit fabric. Fold the waist band like shown and sew the short side. It should match up with the pants. It stretches, so smaller is okay, but you don’t want it bigger. Trim if necessary. 
Fold in half with the wrong side in and pin around top of pants. Sew- leave a 2″ opening to thread elastic.
Measure you low waist/high hip for elastic and cut to fit. Thread through the waistband. Sew the ends of the elastic together- make sure not to twist. Sew the band opening closed.
To secure elastic sew a line down the middle of the band. Stretching as you sew.
Hem by serging the edge, then folding until 1″ OR fold until 1/4″ then another 1″ and sew around bottom of both legs.
And there you go! Cute and SOOOO comfy…

I did it! This was my first big project on my new sewing machine and from start to finish it took me about 2.5 hours. I used some old flannel sheets that were destined for the donation bin! Thank you for this free pattern and tutorial. I know that takes a lot of time and I really appreciate the resources you offer!
