jnamcd said... Wow--I can't believe how RTW they look! I too usually get a few of these each year from either Carter's or Children's place for my kids--and your's look just like them! Another pattern to add to my wish list????? Oh great! 9/25/06 10:24 PM
jnamcd said... Wow--I see they even have this pattern in kids sizes (my oldest is now a 5/6) -- #2704, I think! Oh my! 9/25/06 10:27 PM
MelissaB in WA said... Thanks for your sweet words Amy! I was very pleased with how they turned out. And why did you have to show me that other pattern??? Now I'll have to get that one for sure! My DD wore footed sleepers until she was fairly big, she has always loved PJ's tho. 9/25/06 10:34 PM

clin carolynw said... MelissaB - thank you for this review - I have to get cracking and make some of these for my grandsons - much less expensive with all the fleece I have left over! Very helpful and timely and yours looks just perfect. 9/26/06 1:06 PM
jessika said... Very cute and cozy. You did a great job. Your right about taking the covers off. I need this one on my wish list now. 9/26/06 3:32 PM
Peterborough Stitch said... Great looking sleeper! I'm curious if you were pleased with how they held up last winter. My toddler could use a few more pair and yours looks perfect. Great to know he can wear them until he's school-aged. 10/14/07 8:59 PM
MelissaB in WA said... I had no problems with the sleeper holding up. The microfleece I used too was anti-pill and still looked good when I passed it along to my sister after my son outgrew it. I never ended up making him any more sleepers (just the one) because he was not liking footed pj's anymore and often wanted to wear the other pj's like his big brothers have (KS two piece pants and shirt style in knit fabric). It's an excellent pattern - I wish I would have discovered it long before I did. 10/15/07 12:35 PM
Peterborough Stitch said... Great to hear that you were pleased with the results, even if your DS didn't much care for the fluffy feet. ;)
Did you have trouble finding a zipper that was long enough? I can come close to the one recommended, but the stores around here don't seem to have the 24". Just curious. Thanks again! 11/6/07 5:21 PM
MelissaB in WA said... I don't recall having a problem finding a zipper the right size, I might have used a 22" one tho if 24" wasn't available. I don't think it makes too much difference, the stopping point will just be a bit shorter. HTH's! :-) 11/7/07 9:56 AM
