Free pattern: Cuffed pajama pants for toddlers

Jess from Craftiness Is Not Optional guest blogs over at Birch Fabrics with a free pattern for making a pair of cuffed pajama pants for toddlers. They’re made from a soft flannel. They work equally well for boys or for girls. The cuffs at the bottom are kept rolled up with a button tab, allowing some flexibility or a growing child. (You can let the cuff down a bit and resew the button when the pants grow too short.) Her free pattern is for a size 3T. If you need another size, you could trace around a pair of pants that fit your child and then use her pattern as a guide to make the cuffs and tabs. Go to Birch Fabrics to get her pattern and tutorial.
