Comfortable
So glad to share that I’m finally finished with the Dash Pants. I found the adorable fabric at Walmart in the remnants section of their sewing/craft department.
I love a good deal and the free pattern was the best part! This is my first loungewear pants. The fabric is fairly thin so I wasn’t sure how they’d turn out. I’m pleased with the pattern though and will make these again with a more substantial fabric.

Love these pants!!
The slash pockets were a bit of a challenge but now I know how to do them. Next time should be easier. I can't stop wearing these pants!!

Finished the pants
All done! I really like the fit of these. I made a few adjustments to the pattern. I lowered the back waist by 1" and lengthened the legs 1". I love my fabric as it is 100% cotton, but, I didn't want this color so I might dye them after I inevitably stain them!

An important lesson
I'm nearly done with my pants. I've really been taking my time and enjoying the process. As I was pulling my elastic into the waistband, I pulled off one of my grommets. Apparently, I hadn't squeezed it tight enough when I installed it. That resulted in some rework to put it back on. We live and learn, right?

January finished
As soon as my daughter (14) saw that the first pattern was sweatpants she begged for them to be hers.
I had a goal to use only fabric from my stash but I didn't have any pieces of jogging fleece that were large enough.
I lengthened the pattern for a 31" inseam and a wide hem (I think I missed in the pattern where they indicate the hem width). I used metal eyelets and a hockey skate lace for the tie hockey playing daughter thought this is awesome).
She is very pleased with new pants!

How to fix the pocket
I always think that a small pattern companies should put their best pattern out for free to encourage purchasing other patterns. Unfortunately, I have seen many on here comment on the pockets not laying flat. I noticed that the pattern had no notches to match anything, not a big deal for long straight seams but a notch to indicate where the pocket opening lines up with the lining to ensure a flat front. Lazy pattern drafting in my opinion

Late to the party
Just stumbled upon this challenge yesterday. This looks like so much fun. I'm hoping I can catch up.
For fabric how do I know if it's 30% stretch

To figure out stretch of a fabric, hold 10" of fabric against a ruler. Hold one end down and see how far you can stretch it without distorting the fabric. For example, if you hold down one piece at 0 on the ruler and you start the stretch at 10" and you can stretch it to 14" without distortion, then your stretch is 40%. If you can stretch to 11" it has 10% stretch. Hopefully I'm explaining myself properly. Good luck!!
