Sewing PJ bottoms

Sewing PJ bottoms
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?

Knew this was one way to make pj bottoms, just haven't done it like that.
One thing for sure, by stitching the crotch seam like that, you'll have less chance of the seam popping out!
Isn't it fun to share sewing knowledge with each other?! So many good ideas out there.

I've done them like that (except hemming after legs are sewn) but don't care for the crotch seam, that way. I prefer it to lie down flat, by sewing the crotch first, then across both legs (then press the seam open and then down).
