Tada! "Anarchy in the UK" Pyjama Pants

These pyjama bottoms are anarchic for two reasons.

1. The flags are sideways, which might also be treasonous!

2. They are also cut on the cross grain, breaking all rules of sewing.

To make sure that the pattern is matched all the way round fronts AND backs, if you cut it on the cross grain, using the selvedge as the top edge, it can't fail to match.

Check out this front seam - I LOVE it! This obviously works much better on a very structured pattern - I don't think I'd be this bothered if it was a random pattern of flowers, say.   These were made for my brother for Christmas (although didn't reach him until late January!) but I think I might have to get some more of this fabric to make myself a pair. THAT is how much I love them!
