Stitch up a quick pair of pajama pants for your cutie! This is a free PDF pattern starting
at size 6 months and going up to size 7 years. Follow along and I’ll show you how to
sew these from start to finish.

TIPS:

1 Print the free pajama pattern. There are two different files, one has sizes 6 months to
3 years, and the other has sizes 4-7 years. Be sure that your printer settings are set to
“no margins, no scaling” to ensure the pattern prints the proper size. The pattern with
the smaller sizes prints on 4 pages, the larger on 5. Cut out the pieces on the outermost
line, then tape together alphabetically, with A at the top.

2 I’m using cozy flannel sent to me by the FatQuarterShop.com. I really love these
gender-neutral prints because they would work for any of my kids. It’s a good idea to
wash and dry flannel fabric before sewing.

HOW TO:
made with
1 You can trim the paper pattern to the correct
sizing line, or you can fold the paper back along ▾ PJ PANTS 6 MO-3 YR
the correct sizing line as you would with a tissue
paper pattern.
▾ PJ PANTS 4-7 YR

2 Fold the fabric in half parallel to the

selvedge. Pin the pattern with the straight edge
along the fold, then cut out using fabric scissors. FLANNEL FABRIC
When you come to the triangles on the pattern, THREAD
cut a pointed triangle extending past the pattern
to assist you in matching later. Cut a second SCISSORS
piece as you did the first. STRAIGHT PINS

3 Now we’ll hem the leg openings (this is the SEWING MACHINE
end furthest from the curve). Fold up ½ inch and SAFETY PIN
press, then fold up another inch and press
again, encasing the raw edge. Sew with a ¼ IRON
inch seam, along the top edge of the fold. ELASTIC, ¾-IN WIDE
Repeat for the second piece.

4 Next we’ll sew up the side of the legs. Fold

the fabric in half, right sides together, matching
up the triangles. Pin. Sew the long straight edge
below the curve with a ⅝ in. seam. Repeat for
the other piece.

5 Turn one leg piece right-side out. Slide it into the other piece, so right sides of the
fabric are touching. Align the hemmed cuffs at bottom and pin, matching up the seams.
Repeat for the curved portion.

6 Sew down the curved area with a ⅝ inch seam. Notch the curves. It’s a good idea
to reinforce all the interior seams with a zig-zag or overcast stitch to prevent fraying.

7 Finally, we’ll make the waistband. With one pant leg still inside the other, fold the top
edge down ½ inch and press. Then fold down another inch and press again to encase
the raw edge.

8 Begin sewing about an inch past the center seam. Sew with a ¼ inch stitch, along
the bottom edge of the fold, to create a casing for the elastic. Stop sewing about an
inch before the center seam, creating a 2-inch opening for the elastic.

9 You’ll notice the recommended length for elastic listed along with the sizing on the
pattern. Cut a piece of ¾-inch wide elastic, and then thread through the casing using a
safety pin.

10 Pin both ends of elastic together as you adjust the fabric evenly around the
waistband. Then layer the elastic ends and sew about ½ inch in, using a zig-zag stitch.
Backstitch to reinforce.

11 Tuck the elastic ends into the waistband. If you’d like, you can add a tag before
stitching the hole shut.

That’s it! Super quick, super simple, and super cozy. I made 8 pairs of these in a day for
the grandkids at a family reunion.

I finally found the pattern that I have been looking for. I am not able to get it to
download any suggestions. It is the PJ pants for 4-7 year…Thanks

I made these in the 6 month size and I feel like they are really big! I printed the
pattern at 100% and followed the directions for the seams.

I’m about to cut out a pair for my soon to be 2 yr old grandson and the 2T
looks huge, So, I thought about using the 12 mo and then even wondered
about using the 6 mo for him because it seems so large. How much bigger
was the 6 month size than what you needed? Just curious. I keep
wondering if after I sew them with the seam allowances if they’ll fit, but for
now I’m not sure.

says
Well, the kids in the photos are wearing the size that coordinates with their
age… You could always start with the original size and then trim it down if it
doesn’t work for you :)

BUNNY says
If I came across as unappreciative I’m so sorry, because I really think your
pattern and instructions are the best I’ve found on the web. Thank you so
much for sharing your talents!!! I do appreciate it and am about to try a
smaller size. :)

says
Oh, not at all! Feedback is ALWAYS appreciated! Thanks, Bunny :)

DENISE says
One thing to remember about the size is that this is a pattern for flannel that
does not stretch so it needs to fit bigger. A knit fabric would have a more
slender fit, if that is the look you are thinking of then look for a “leggings”
pattern. I made the mistake of interchanging the flannel for the knit and my
nephew just tore thru the pants.
Thanks so much for the pattern!

NINA W. says
Hope this helps, before printing take your tape measure and measure the
square, I had to St it at 94% to give me 1inch.

LIBBY says
Thank you so much for this sweet tutorial and free pattern! Have a very
Merry Christmas!!!!!

This is a great pattern and I thank you very much. I plan to make a pair for my
grandson. My only problem is how the children tell the front form the back. I usually
add a pocket to assist them. Thanks again.

If you are not inserting a tag just use a ribbon to coordinate with you fabric.
When you sew the waist seam start at the back and place the ribbon in
after you insert the elastic as close the seam.

Hello-
Is the first page of the 6mos. Pattern off ? Why does the right side not lined up w the
2nd page?
Thanks

Reply

says
Hi Sam… it should line up. Check your printer settings and make sure
they’re set to no margins / no scaling :)

LESLIE says
My pattern was not printing right either so I checked my printer setup and
looked at each page before printing and notice page in will print portrait
and pages 2, 3, and 4 need to be printed landscape. When I changed the
settings for pages 2, 3, and 4 it printed perfectly! Hope this helps!

I love this pattern. I found it was a little big too but I just made them a size smaller
and they fit perfectly. So easy to make. I made one pair from flannel and one from
basic cotton so far, both worked out amazing! Thank you so much!

Hi: Thanks for the pattern. I tried to download without borders as you suggested, but
could not. the pattern did print and I was wondering how much per cent should I
enlarge when I go to Office Depot. Thanks so much.

LINDY says
First and foremost, thank you Marzi for the awesome tutorial and free patterns! This
was my first attempt at sewing toddler pants and it was a huge success. I have a 23
month old who is in the 75th percentile for height and weight and I ended up using
the size 6 months pattern. Once I assembled the pattern for 2T it looked huge, so I
compared it to his 18 mo and 2T pants that currently fit and the pattern was way too
big. I marked on the paper where the 1.5″ and 5/8″ seam allowances would end up
and decided to go with the 6 month pattern. Even so, it ended up longer than his
current 2T pants which was what I wanted so he can get more wear out of them in
the next year. I hope this helps someone who is wondering about the sizing. I already
bought a second fabric to make him another pair of pants!

Just wanted to thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us :) I’m a beginner
and it’s help like this that makes learning much easier and enjoyable. Thanks again!

PS: Something I’ve seen on downloadable patterns which I find helpful is to put a 2″
x 2″ “test square” somewhere on the pattern. This way, when someone prints out the
pattern, they can measure the square and know whether they’ve printed it out
properly (or need to make adjustments to their printer settings). Perhaps your “fat
quarters shop” icon can double as a 2″ x 2″ test square :)

I am making jammies for charity and have tried various patterns. Yours worked out
absolutely perfect. Not sure of the sizing as I don’t have any toddlers to try them, but
they surely are nice pants. I also adjusted the leg and made shorts as summer is
approaching. Thank you so much.

match capirs

DANETTE says
Thank you for the awesome pattern! I have a question- because I have been dying to
sew comfy and cool cotton pj pants for myself- for so long! How would you suggest
making this a size for adults? Or maybe if you are so inclined to make a pattern of
the same pants (I don’t know if they are yet, but drawstring/elastic waist would be
nice) for adults as well?
Thanks and be well,
Danette :)

A round of applause for your blog.Really thank you! Awesome.

CHERIE says
Thank you for the pattern. Can you please add a pattern for kids size 10?

ELIZABETH says
It sounds like the sizes run a bit big. Since it’s a pretty simple design, you
would probably have good luck measuring your child’s waist to floor (or
where you want them to fall), and extend the size 7 pattern from there.
Measure waist size and add width (maybe an inch or 2?) around waist to
accommodate. Since it’s an elastic waist, you have some room to play.
Even if you err’d big, you could just pull it in with shorter elastic.

Hope that makes sense!

Thank you for this pattern, I just made up a couple of pairs for my girls (ages 2 and
4) and they fit beautifully.

I think someone asked about using cotton instead of flannel and I was wondering if
anyone used this pattern to make fleece pants for their child. Our winters are so cold
and my little loves to wear fleece pj pants to play in on “stay home days.”

Can I use fleece for this pattern?

Yes! You can use fleece.

Love this pattern I have made several pairs in all sizes. Thank you so much

JESSICA says
Hi there! Love the pattern and the tutorial. I definitely noticed though that the pattern
sizes are HUGE compared to typical measurements. For example, I used the pattern
to make lounge pants for my 10 month old. He typically wears 12 or 18 month pants.
I ended up using the 6 month pattern size and they are still pretty big.

CASSANDRA says
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your expertise AND your
willingness to go the extra mile. After looking online extensively I couldn’t find a
pattern that had a complete pattern with the entire leg length. I would of had to
guess on the length for my 8yo granddaughter, and, not only that I would of had to
make and insert the paper needed for the length. Thank you for not being lazy! I
found you years ago online and you taught me how to make a baby blanket and to
miter the corners, not to mention a number of other things. I hope you get everything
you want from your efforts here. You are a sweetheart! And your children are
beautiful!! Cassandra

Thank you for the free pattern.
When printing the PDF, I noticed the first page as portrait and pages 2-4 were
landscape so had to print the first page as portrait and pages 2-4 as landscape.
Does this seem correct?

CAROL KAU says

Thanks so much for these free patterns. I love pajama pants without side seams.
They’re more comfortable and they allow me to use a larger print on them. Thanks
again!

Can I use Linen and cotton for this pattern? I’m a total beginner and have some very
nice printed cotton to use

Thank you so much for the pattern and tutorial. They worked great. I have made two
pair so far and plan to make 8 more! I do have a question though. Is there a correct
front & back or does it matter? Thanks again.
