Hi ladies

I’ve bought this sewing pattern below to make some winter pajamas for my older son. It suggests that flannel is a suitable fabric, but I have some concerns that this pattern is a pullover design and flannel has almost no stretch. The collar is ribbed cotton, which does stretch. I’d prefer to sew it up in flannel for the warmth, rather than a stretch cotton.

Do you think my son is going to have trouble getting this on and off?

What I know about this is dangerous lol…. what about turning it into a three-button neckline pullover, if you know what I mean! Would that ease the putting on a off perhaps?

That could work, or even a small slit at the back neckline with a single button at the top… hmmm… or I could even do the 3 buttons/press studs on the shoulder like they do on some baby clothes.
Thanks SocialGirl!

Oh ja…. press studs even better actually. Anytime Ellie, just ask the expert

Meant to ask you, did you get the material with the “glow-in-dark” motif…

haha, no. He chose a blue one with beige, grey and red cars on it. Going to make the front and back panels of the top plain red, but I have to wait until the local fabric shop gets it in for winter, which hopefully won’t be too long.

You are quite talented by the sounds… anything else you do!

I’m not a beginner, but I’m not super awesome… YET!
I also like to knit, scrapbook (but havent in a while), and just booked an introduction to floristry class. I have also been known to cross stitch. I just like crafty stuff really.

... thank god my kids go to bed early.

I like the idea of the floristry class Elli… it’s good to have these hobbies - keeps ya outta mischief lol

I’m actually considering it as a career, but wanted to have a taste of it before I sign up for a longer course. I’d actually like to specialise in silk floristry if I did decide to study it.
