edot Intermediate NC USA Member since 1/9/06 Posts: 290	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/14/11 12:31 PM in browsing the 'net just now I came across some long john style pjs at nordstrom in a pretty cute fair-isle-ish winter sweater print, complete with reindeer and snowflakes (!). Has anyone seen such a fabric? A knit would be good, but a woven would be great too (contrast shirt facings! oooh!). I looked over at spoonflower and found a few things searching for "fair isle" but, alas, no reindeer and snowflakes. I'm beyond wishing for this for this year, but what a stellar stash builder to keep around for wintry sewing projects it would be!

They cost $20 for al sizes so you could make a bunch of pj's out of king sized sheets ------ sarah in nyc www.sewnewyork.blogspot.com

They had six or seven imitation knits last year...one or two might still be around on clearance. Here is the link: http://www.connectingthreads.com/WinterFun_CD114.html They have three, and two different colors of each. None just like your model, but snowflake, "bunnies and trees", and Argyle (which looks more like Intarsia than Fair Isle) -- Edited on 12/15/11 8:51 AM --
