The Jalie reveal continues! (If you missed my post yesterday, go check out the Jalie Bonnie Romper and all the details on Jalie’s latest collection!).
Jalie’s latest collection includes quite a few menswear patterns. Jalie Martin is a lounge pant and boxer short pattern, designed for boys and men (of course, it can be unisex too!). I had initially planned to sew this one up for my husband who is always wanting more pajama pants. But, my husband also only likes pj pants with a real fly, and since Jalie Martin has a faux fly, that wasn’t going to work for him. So, my 7 year old got them instead!
In addition to the faux fly, Jalie Martin has a back pocket, elastic waist, and no back seam. The lack of back seam is great for comfort, though it makes working with stripes or tartan a bit tricky. In our Jalie promo group, it was suggested to cut the back insert on the bias, and I had wanted to do that with mine, however I didn’t have enough fabric to pull that off.
Speaking of fabric, this one is leftover Robert Kaufman flannel from Minerva. It’s a WONDERFUL fabric and I’d love more of it for me! (I previously used this fabric to make lounge pants for my husband).
Jalie Martin comes in two size ranges – 2T – 2XL (paper and PDF) and 1XL – 5XL (pdf only).
Construction-wise, Martin is a fairly easy sew, though the back and side seaming makes it take a bit longer to construct than a single pattern piece pajama pant. This instructions are easy to follow though, and can be downloaded before purchasing.
Be sure to follow Jalie on Instagram and join the Jalie Facebook group for more inspiration!
