Pattern Description: Men's pajama or lounge set for woven fabrics. I made the pants.

Pattern Sizing: S-XXL for waists 28 thru 46 I made Size L

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes!

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are well written and easy to follow. I did change the order just a bit though. I put the snap on the fly after I finished step 3 when everything is still flat and the fly is not stitched closed yet. The instructions don't tell you to do the snap/button until the very end. I also topstitched the CB seam and the side seams.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Well drafted, easy, and quick to sew..whats not to like? I particularly like the elastic waist treatment and the fly construction.

Fabric Used: This is my third pair and I used cotton flannel (go Sooners!) from fabric.com. I also made another pair in an Alexander Henry print and some shorts in Coca Cola flannel.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I took out 1 inch in length between the waist and crotch and 2 inches out of the leg, and then chopped 4.5 inches off at the hem. DH is 5'6" and most of his height is in the torso...hence all the hacking and chopping of the pattern.
I also just did an elastic waist since DH never uses the drawstrings in his sweatpants.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I've already done 3 pairs and I'm sure I'll do more. I highly recommend it and I wonder why it hasn't been reviewed more.

Conclusion: Great pattern if you want to make something for the guy in your life. The Holidays are coming soon and this would be an easy gift to make....almost no fitting!
