The last time my fabric store had a flannel sale I snagged a few different pieces.
Blues were the dominant color, but I chose patterns that weren't too baby-ish. I'm kind of done with puppies and kitties and duckies at this point.I made a few sets of jammies with my boys' initial on the t-shirt top.
They share the same first initial, so handing them down to little brother won't be a problem!I also made a few fitted sheets and pillowcases

I found cute blue ribbon with moons and stars, I thought it fit the bedtime scheme, so I added it to the pillowcases
All in all I made 2 fitted sheets, 3 pillowcases, 3 sets of jammies and about 8 pajama pants. No, I didn't make them all on that Sunday, but I started then, which is the toughest thing to do, to get started.I get this silly "frontier woman providing for her family" feeling whenever my boys wear or use something I've made. It's a great feeling.

How does one go about making a fitted sheet? I've thought about it it, but really, it hurts my head to figure it out! LOL
here's a good tutorial

i prefer to leave an extra inch all around the sheet so I can hide the elastic, but that's just my preference.
Claudia, You are so talented! Wow..I'd love to be able to make a pillow or sheet or jammies like that! Good for you!
