Stash Busting: Pajama Bottoms / OOP Simplicity 2372 and OOP Vogue 9217

Meet the latest pajama bottoms.  The last pair turned out so well, I've been making more.  Again, once this set is complete, it will be gifted.  


They were shortened and have a one-inch hem.  The waist was finished with the waistband from out-of-print (OOP) Vogue 9217.  Easy peasy.  

The fabric is from the stash, not certain how long it has been there except that it's been there for years.  There was enough to cut out a pajama top which is waiting to be sewn.  It was pre-treated with a tumble in the washing machine and dryer.  It has one side that feels like a flannel.  I used the soft side as the interior for the warmth.  I'm not sure of the fibre content but I do know that the right side of this fabric does not like the cotton setting on the iron.
