Handmade Holidays — Dolly & Me Lounge Pants

15 years ago

I had purchased one yard of pretty flannel fabric at JoAnn back when it was on sale, with the intention of sewing some cozy lounge pants for Emily. When the pants were done, I had just enough fabric leftover for a fun pair of matching pants for Dolly. Emily was so happy with these!

Dolly kept insisting that her pant legs were too long, but I told her she’ll grow into them.

The pants were very quick and easy to sew up, and I used a similar method to the one in Amanda Blake Soule’s book The Creative Family. I had made pants like these for Emily before from a pillowcase, but I think she loved the idea of Dolly matching!

I think I have a tiny bit of fabric leftover from this jumper, and if I do, I’ll be making a matching skirt for Dolly too!
