Warm, Cozy Flannel Clothes for Winter

Did you know they make flannel sheets? The solid blue is from a flannel sheet. The print is from thrift store yardage.
They were worried about a bee.

I made C's capelet first. Yes, it is very wrinkly. She has been trying it on with everything in her closet (except for jeans) and nothing matched. So I made her a skirt. The ruffle is from a bedskirt.

Um, yeah. I should have ironed. 


I lined the capelet.

pockets and mismatched buttons (sorry no good photos of the buttons, the top two are vintage metal buttons and the bottom ones are metal replicas of buffalo buttons).
The pants are a bit big but I am not going to do anything about it right now. It will be a couple of months before it is so cold that she will wear this and given how the girls  shoot up - it might not be a problem by then.


I'll be sharing this at:

  3. Flannel sheets.... reminding me of my childhood. I had pink and light blue ones and yellow lovelies with these cute red roses.... I wonder where to by these soft sheets nowadays. You hardly see them anymore.
    Have a sweet Tuesday, Melissa xxxxx

I love the blue colour and the print.. love the mismatched metal buttons on K's top.. love all the bows.. love LOVE the capelet and matching skirt (more drama for K I see!).. I have been wanting to make myself a cape ever since Carol Hannah made one on Project Runway! I will do it one day. I'd love to make Cyan clothes like this, she would love them.

  11. So cute! I love the capelet set, it's so custom, and the style of the other shirt is one of my favorites for little girls. Nice job. (I wondered how you got the pensive looks in the 1st photo. lol!)
