Review on πŸ‘– New Look Sewing Pattern Kit: Simplicity U06859A Misses' and Mens' Pajama Pants and Shorts - Sizes XS-XL (Code 6859) by Karla Richter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy, Fast, Too Much

I bought this pattern because I need pockets in my pajama bottoms. The pattern is very easy to follow - I've been sewing for 50 years but have never done anything advanced. And it looks like the first clothes I made back then. But like others have said, the pants come out huge! If you're using a pattern like this, you're probably not very advanced like me, and probably can't judge the fit very well before folding it. I went down just one size to get the ease they needed. I removed the inseam an inch because I'm small so I probably won't need them. The elevator worked fine. The first pair was still huge and very baggy on the legs. I cropped it down another size and narrowed the leg an additional 2 inches in the front and back. I did the same for the front pocket style and the side pocket style. It's fun and fast, but take some measurements and adjust beforehand.

Pros
