I enjoyed learning how to put together a pair of p.j. pants for my husband that would fit him well and sew up easily with a French seam! I am going to make some for the children too. Explained well also. Thanks.
I started sewing 3 months ago, I made a french seam draw string bag. PJ pants with french seam are next to try, and this video is soooo helpful with great tips. Thank you very much. 😊
I can't wait to make these for my hubby. My sister showed me how to just take his old pj's and use them as my pattern..I know they fit! Thanks Rob! Love the other quilting videos!
You are a hoot. Love this approach and how you assemble. I can just hear [sense?] classic sewists from the old days gasp at a couple of things [like not using the fold for the outside leg], but times change and so do techniques! I hope the next generation of sewists follow your lead, grab your enthusiasm and create unique, fun things, including quilts!! I plan to and I'm no longer a spring chicken :) Thank you!!!
Thank you so much, I was looking for ways to use border prints and came across your video. I'm am impressed that you sew standing up, I've never seen anyone sew this way before.
If you press your seem out "flat" before you try to press the seem for the beginning of the French seam, it will not only be easier but neater. Well worth the extra press as far as I'm concerned. Thank you for all the cool types you offer to us.
Thank you for this excellent French seam pajama pants. I have many grandchildren to make pajamas pants for and this really ups the quality because they will be more durable. No fraying seams. These are fun and easy to make and eliminate frustration also gives a satisfaction of a quality product.
Thank YOU so very much for this tutorial/video. I have made many PJ pants and they have all fit very awkwardly! These are perfect. I am a beginning sewing fanatic and I love to learn. Thanks again so much!
Totally cool jammies!! After seeing your tute. I made some for my nephew and also made a matching pillowcase, he LOVES them! Your iron is fabulous! My iron recently went to that Great Iron Heaven in the sky and I'm looking for a good replacement!
I am way behind on sewing clothing. I love the way you put these together. I am an old fashioned sewer and I would have had way more seams. Great tutorial.
Love the French seams, makes them look so much more classier. Merry Christmas to you Rob and a Happy New Year 2016. Will be watching next year. Thank you for all your hard work, time and effort - most appreciated.
Rob, did you say how much fabric you used for your pants? If we order the fabric and pattern together, I would like to know the approximate amount of fabric to order for one size medium pair of pants. Love the tutorial. The fabric will be perfect for my son-in-law as he uses a logo for his business that incorporates flames similar to those on the fabric.
Rob I would love to see some more garment making projects from you. I’m a quilter as well but would like to start doing some basic garments. I’m thinking lounge ware type stuff. You are an excellent teacher and so easy to follow. Any way you could do a skill builder series for us?
Brilliant demonstration thak you so very much Rob and also love your great sense of humour when some times a little Ooop hapens we sewers all have them lol lol (smiles)
Darn! How have I not seen this video of yours before?! Rob I have a question. My husband wants pajama pants to lounge in at home on weekends. Do you add more seam allowance to be able to do french seams or do you do the regular size, just with french seams? I have the cutest shark fabric by Michael miller, and want to make sure he can wear the finished product! Thanks!
I notice that the selvedge edge is at the bottom . If the grain line runs parallel to the selvedge that means the grain line is running across your pants instead of down ?? Would that be ok ? Great clear video though ....well done . Cheers
I do that same technique with the butcher paper! Another thing i like to do with this technique is to tape the pattern on my backyard glass door and tape over the butcher paper to make sure i get it identical. ✏✂📍☺
One thing I do is see a label (or a loop of satin ribbon) at the back seam of the waistband, to show which way the pants fit, as the back has more room for your bottom.
Had laugh when you mentioned sewing the pocket to the leg. Years ago I was making my husband a pair of sleep shorts and sewed the pocket to the back seam. Never did finish them.
I love the tutorial for the PJ Pants. Your sense of humor makes it fun to learn, and of course your instructions are easy peasy to follow! Thanks Rob.
Love this

The French Seams look amazing! Also, that fabric looks so cool!!!
I can't even imagine how many PJ pants I am going to be making now! Thanks to Rob, I now know AND understand French Seams! Rob, you ROCK!!!!

Love the border fabric. My son is a biker and I'm going to make him some with that fabric to relax in after a long day of riding! He will love them!

Just made a pair and then taught my 22yr old son to sew using this pattern. He is planning on making them for Christmas presents. Thanks!

I wish you could have been one of my Home Ec teachers back in the day! Using French seams wow!
+Jena Pope that's a nice thing to say, thanks!!
wow mind blown on the French seam -I am in love with it already and haven't even tried it on a project . I can not wait to try it out . great video
I wanted to see them on!!! 😂 Great job!!! Love men that can cook and sew!
I like how he said to basically be gentle on your pattern book then just tosses it aside two seconds later lol. I love Rob!Such a cool guy.
Like a lot of people say "do as I say, not as I do" lol

Love this video , I ended up making pj pants for my whole family for Christmas All six of the family got pants on Christmas eve. Thanks Rob
I've always wanted to do French seams, and you explained it so well, my next project is going to be a pair of French seamed pants.
I am way behind on sewing clothing. I love the way you put these together. I am an old fashioned sewer and I would have had way more seams. Great tutorial.
+Judy Jensen I'm glad you liked this one, thanks for following along!
This tutorial makes it so easy for a beginner. Makes me confident that I can make yoga pants for my man!
Love the French seams, makes them look so much more classier. Merry Christmas to you Rob and a Happy New Year 2016. Will be watching next year. Thank you for all your hard work, time and effort - most appreciated.
Love the idea of using a border print this way!
Great tip on how to size up the elastic and to use two safety pins!!

These pants are so cute. Love the fabric! I only wish I could make stuff as fast as you do in your video's.

You make it look so easy! I am going to give this a try.

JIM HOOPER yes, that shouldn't matter at all. :)
The PJ Pants video is my fav!!!
Great job Rod. Like the pjs. 😀😀👍👍. May I ask Where did u get ur iron at?
+Dena Bandsma Here is a link! www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/35414/panasonic/-/360-freestyle-cordless-iron
I love this tutorial. I never knew french seams were so easy to do. I would like to know where you got ur iron too and how does it stay hot? Thank you
I do that same technique with the butcher paper! Another thing i like to do with this technique is to tape the pattern on my backyard glass door and tape over the butcher paper to make sure i get it identical. ✏✂📍☺
What type of fabric material is that?
Love your tutorials. I owe my husband a pair of PJ pants but he wants pockets in his. This will take me most of the way there though. :)
this is perfect timing. got a gift card to joanns from my job and had no clue what I wanted to buy.
+lovelyleija happy sewing!!
These pants would also be perfect for the person who has a problem with telling the truth. "Liar, liar, pants on..." Merry Christmas!
Thus is odd lenth pajama
Love this Tute. Can't wait to try it and wear it. Thanks
Enjoy your Yoga pant tutorial...we have used it many times
Just found out about your channel so cool to see a man sewing! :-)
Love his style.. More men should sew...
great job will put this idea on my bucket list Merry Christmas to you and your family
+Mary Mote Awesome! We can't wait to see what you create! Merry Christmas!
Years ago I drew up pattern pieces on newspaper from directions in a book
I did it dude! Thanks for the awesome video
Have you tried Lutterloh patterns. They are brilliant, no guess work if it fits! I've been using it for years
+C Fleyfel thanks for the info!!
Cool pants! Wish you would have modeled them for us!
+Sylvia Torres I did in the newsletter!
thanx!Sewed my bf a pair and they came out perfect
Cool! I can get pj's at wally world but nothing quite that nice.
One thing I do is see a label (or a loop of satin ribbon) at the back seam of the waistband, to show which way the pants fit, as the back has more room for your bottom.
My favorite tutorial but I really love them all truly I do
fun pj bottoms. great for teens gift
The pants are cool!
So you made "cargo" sleep pants! ;P I would've loved to have seen ur face when u realized ur pocket there! lol great video!
I like to put pockets in my pj bottom, even when not included in pattern. Trying to figure that one out with the French seam
The boys and I will be making some of these love them
Awesome! I'm going to make these for my Mr. 😃
Fancy pants...love em!
My machine just died. for those of us that cannot afford a baby lok what would you suggest. Did the shirt and pj's, Merry Christmas.
+cc cookie I bought a New Home HF3000 at Hancock Fabrics 2 or 3 years ago. It sews beautifully, and it only cost about $250.00 if that.
Can I use a pizza cutter instead of a rotary cutter?
Inspiring...great job!
Had laugh when you mentioned sewing the pocket to the leg. Years ago I was making my husband a pair of sleep shorts and sewed the pocket to the back seam. Never did finish them.
I love t-shirts
Very stylish ;)
Pajama Pattern is back in stock
You didn't put them on and show us how they look! 😞
+Carol Prentice do you get our newsletter? I'm wearing them there!
+Man Sewing no, I'll go and look for it. Thanks
great...
Hems are usually done last :(
Thank you Mr Appell for all your helpful videos. I'll certainly give it a try as I need to make a pair of pants for my husband.
model please
+Rustic Southern I did in the newsletter! Also on mansewing.com!
Never seen anyone stand up & sew on the machine...
Too bad Man Sewing is no longer available.
Sew, not see. Sew a ribbon at the back seam of the waistband.
