I remember in discussion on the possible usages or sergers, someone mentioned whipping up fleece pants for themselves. I'd like to do this for me and my kids, can anyone point me to a pattern or instructions as to how to make them fit correctly! Once I know what to do, I'll just have to watch for a sale on fleece at Joanns or use my 40% off coupon.

I made some from a Green Pepper pattern #505. Both my JoAnn's store and the local Hancock's carry some Green Pepper patterns; I don't remember where I got this one. The pants do fit fairly snug, which I wanted because I wanted them for biking. The zippers are a bit tricky, but you could leave out the pockets. If you want easier pockets, I'd suggest getting a "scrubs" pattern rather than a pajama pants pattern. Remember fleece has a bit of stretch, so you might not need to cut them as big as you would flannel pants.

I just worked with a pattern for scrubs and it had an interesting pouch type pocket across the front. I didn't use the 'pouch' but you might want to be aware of the pockets in the pattern. If you want simple, the pockets would have to be worked out of the pattern.

Except with fleece, you could make patch pockets without turning any edge under, as it doesn't fray. They wouldn't add any trickiness to the pattern. They would be enough for a hankie or tissue etc? . In message , Leslie& The Furbabies in MO. writes

I've never done this, but I'd guess you could probably use one the McCalls/Butterick/Simplicity type patterns for elastic waist pajama bottoms to do this. Probably all of the major pattern companies would have some sort of pull-on pajama pant pattern in various sizes.
