I've had this pair of pants in my pile for quite a long time. Up until now, they've been mostly, but not quite wearable.
I finished the seams with a zigzag stitch over the edge, fixed a blown seam up one leg, sewed up some slashes I'd made at the side, and installed some elastic to replace the drawstrings.
The observant among you will notice there's a drawstring in them.
The fabric I used is a little heavy and, unfortunately, because of the way I put the elastic in, it doesn't spring back as much as I'd like it to. The drawstring solves that problem and the elastic plus drawstring is much better than just the drawstrings.
I now have twice as many pajama pants and one less project in the pile. I call this one a win.
