From MBJM:

They have been described by more than one of my mini testers as ‘the most comfortable thing ever!!’ They are particularly good for children who wear cloth nappies as they have plenty of room in the booty department! But that doesn’t stop them being popular with older children too.

An experienced sewer will easily be able to whip up a pair in under half and hour. If you’re a less experienced sewer then this is the perfect pattern to introduce you to sewing with knits. I include detailed, step by step instructions with lots of helpful colour photos. An overlocker/serger is useful but not necessary and I include directions for using a regular sewing machine.

The pattern was designed to be made using cotton jersey for the legs, and cotton/elastane ribbing or jersey for the waist and leg cuffs, however any fabric with good stretch and return will work.

As with all MBJM sewing patterns, you are welcome to sell items made using this pattern.
