Sewing Easy elastic waist / pajama style pants for SID and similar dolls

Jun 18, 2016

Watch Thread
    1. Hi guys!
      I've created this pattern for some easy-to-make pants for SID, but since the waist is fitted with elastic and the legs are cut long, it will fit a big variety of dolls. Even my EID Super Hero can squeeze into them, though just barely. If you want to make them for an EID, you might want to add a little wiggle room to one side of either pattern piece. ^^

      They make awesome pajama pants in flannel or plaid print cotton. They're also great for regular old casual pants, too. I made this pair with scrap cotton left over from a friend's cosplay:

      The printable PDF of the pattern is free for personal use, as always, and available on my sewing page here:

      And if you need or want them, here are video instructions for assembly:


      Happy sewing!

    4. You're welcome, I'm glad it's useful! I remember having a tough time with pants the first few times too, then I worked out this assembly order that made it a lot easier to do. ^^ It certainly helps speed up the process!

    5. Such a nice and easy pattern! I love that it consists of only four pieces and the elastics :) and the video makes it look super simple. I will definitely try this pattern next time I have time to sit down and sew.

    6. Hi and thanks for sharing this! <3
      Exactly what I was looking for.as I was planning to make my BJD buddy some pyjama's.
      I'm a beginner in BJD and sewing, literary started sewing yesterday and I had this in mind to make.
      Seemed to me one of the easiest things to make and I love pyjama's.
      Hope I can manage it by hand as I dont have a sewing machine, at least not yet :lol:

    9. Thank you again @Myuuchan, I finally got around making pants for my RD Dracula Marcus from this pattern. They are a bit too big for him and the fabric I used perhaps wasn't the best, but they turned out really nice I think :XD:

    12. I will try this project in the future.
      I got my first BJDs like a minth ago and only reason why I got them were to crochet and sew my own cloths for them.

      I will post pics when I ha e made the pants =)
