Oldest son lounge pants

This is a second pair of  lounge pants I made for my oldest son. My daughter-in-law and I were in a Wal-mart one day and we both spotted out this flannel fabric with bulldozers and dump trucks on it , and since he runs heavy equipment -we decided that it would be perfect for him.

The pattern calls for you to sew flannel tips on a piece of elastic to make your ties, but he did not like that last year because your elastic can always stretch out of shape so he wanted the elastic And the ties also. That is one reason I am getting good at using that " FAST Turn" - which comes with different size tubes for you to turn different size ties.

I am scrambling for Christmas present ideas.

Have a great day and many happy stitches to one and all.
