The stash pattern McCall's 5222 was bought for $0.99 in a local thrift store. The pants were meant as pajama pants so they were super wide in the leg. I had to trim the leg width a bit but they are still a bit wide. Otherwise, I made no other pattern changes. It was simple and straight forward to sew. I didn't even look at the instructions. The pattern pieces spoke for themselves.
The fabrics were remnants in my stash from the shorts I made my husband a couple of years ago. I didn't have enough fabric for the whole length of the pant legs so I improvised and made the pant legs in 2 sections and top stitched the joining seam - I call that a design feature! ;-)

That's a really good way of adding length when the fabric runs out. Great and economical use of stash. And a well dressed boy to boot :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am just happy that my boy is not fussy about the clothes I made for him. He will wear anything I put in his room. My daughter however is a different story.....
DeleteGreat design feature! :)
