I made these last weekend while awaiting the arrival of the hub and kids here in Pa. I picked up this flannel cowboy fabric in the remnant bucket at JoAnn's a while ago. It's not my favorite and the red on the cowboy hats bled into the white fabric, but I don't think you really can go wrong with $2 pajama pants handmade by mom.
Of course, the kid loved them. And I tacked on these knee pads for extra-special flair! I used red jersey knit from an old t-shirt. I first sewed the pads in place with a regular foot (but a walking foot would be way more helpful here) and then I used my darning foot to sew the (semi)horizontal lines. Just the idea of all that stopping and turning put me to sleep, so I used the darning foot to free-motion the lines. The lines aren't as straight and even, but the process was a lot quicker. And I kind of like the look of the improv, wonky lines.
Another need filled using mom's skills. But I think that I should consider investing in higher quality fabric . . . maybe when the kids get older and start to actually care.
