Sewing PJ bottoms
#12
I did find a tute online that shows that method (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...ants/?ALLSTEPS)

It has been a long time since I have made pants of any kind, but I have done it both ways. I want to make pajamas for Christmas gifts, so will probably sew them your way. If I remember right, I think I preferred that way when I tried it. Some of my pajamas will be for men, and my pattern does not show a fly. I would rather not go to the trouble of making a fly, but would that be acceptable? I have two patterns, and neither show a fly. Why would a pattern company even make one that way?

I thought every one made pj bottoms the way I was taught. I made a pair at quilt open sew day and no one there had ever seen it done my way. I cut two leg pieces, usually by tracing around a pair of made bottoms, on the fabric, sew the pants hem, sew the leg part closed, put one leg inside the other and then sew the crotch, put elastic in the waist band or drawstring. Done. Anyone do it this way? Is there a better way?

All the boys shorts that I make in my Knox charity group are done this way.So so easy. Made a pair a few weeks ago
from a striped pillowcase and even matched lines. You described it well. This can be considered the commercial
way things are sewn.
