Taught by Sanae Ishida
Make yourself the coziest pajama bottoms and learn how to draft a pattern at the same time. The benefit of drafting your own patterns is that you are guaranteed the best fit for your unique body. Sanae Ishida - author, illustrator, and maker of many things - shows you how to begin with a lower body sloper (which you can make in this class) or a pair of close-fitting woven pants, and draft your pattern to your specifications. Then you'll learn how to cut your fabric, seam your pants together, and add an elastic waistband. The sewing skills for these pajama bottoms are beginner-friendly, and you'll enjoy making and wearing this quick and satisfying project.

This was a great tutorial. I just loved her calm voice and I really found the close ups on the machine and fabric were really easy to see and understand! Thank you so much.
