What can I say. We all have those days when pajama bottoms are the only way to go. I whipped these bottoms up for a gift. Initially, I was surprised how large they looked, but that is mainly because each leg is cut from a single piece of fabric. Word to the wise, buy the amount of fabric on the envelope. The legs will use it up. There is one little glitch with the pattern/directions. When you cut the legs out, you are going to come across a funny little tab near the crotch. It took me a bit of time to figure it out, but the tab marks the hem if you are going to make shorts. Just go ahead and make the leg seam straight, you don’t need the extra piece for pants. Other than that, the directions and construction are as expected.
