Pattern Description:
The pattern is "Misses', mens' and teens' pants" and that they are easy to make.

Pattern Sizing:
XS - XL

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?
Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really liked this pattern by it has one MAJOR flaw in my opinion... although it says unisex, it REALLY isn't.
Women - you will love this pattern. It is great, easy and really comfortable.
Men - DON'T TOUCH THIS PATTERN. I made a pair for my boyfriend, it was the right size etc. but the pattern doesn't allow for... how shall I put it... male bits. I was really disheartened - I made the PJ pants especially for him with expensive cotton material and he can't wear them because they are so uncomfortable. Very very upset as they were meant to be a gift/ surprise.

Fabric Used:
Cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
No, but if I had to make them again, I would move the connecting seam forward for men.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
For women - HECK YES!
For men - HECK NO!

Conclusion:
Great, simple pattern for women. Can whip up a pair of pants in a matter of a few hours (if you cut and sew as slow as me )
