For years now I've made pj pants for my two DGDs in California and am now adding my two DGDs here in Western New York. I only have to trace patterns for the older girls since I rarely throw anything away ;( and I've made so many of them they go together really quickly. (Thanks to Juno for the serged on elastic waistband method I use!)
Monday I got some flannel out to start cutting, one is a snazzy glittery pink and orange print that I bought with the glitzy loving redhead in mind. But when the 4 yo saw it she told me it was her favorite, she just loves it, and can she please have it for her pjs? I tried for a while figure out how to have enough fabric for both the size 10 and the size 4 but it just wouldn't work.
So, my question is (finally, sorry to be so long-winded) would it be better for me to find a new pattern? The one I have always used has a one piece leg rather than a separate front and back. It seems I might be able to get more from a yard of fabric if I used a front and back but not sure of the fitting differences between the two.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I find a new pattern? The one piece pattern does use a lot of width and doesn't leave much usable yardage.
