This is the fourth pair of Lazy One pajama bottoms I've bought since sitting at home in pajama bottoms became fashionable this spring. The cotton fabric is very soft and comfortable. The fabric is the perfect thickness - not heavy like flannel, but not flimsy either. The elastic drawstring fits comfortably around the waist. So far I have washed all the pajamas well and have not faded. Shrinkage was also minimal. I was able to find four different templates that weren't as fancy as many of Lazy One's template suggestions. Personally, I don't like wearing joke-themed clothes. There are a few cute, no-nonsense patterns from the American Southwest that I really like and would recommend: Chasing Your Dreams (Horses in a Southwestern Environment) and Island Buffalo Fair. The rustic stripe pattern is another beautiful, no-nonsense design.
