What do you use cotton flannel for? Just got some gorgeous stuff from ColorMeFlannel

Some I made up this weekend into pajamas for my DS. The fabric is very crisp (makes noise, like cotton, when you maneuver it) and soft, thicker than the stuff you get at JoAnn's and higher quality. Really like it. One piece I bought is a leopard print. One look at it and I thought it was too nice for pajamas. I think I will try Vogue 8689 which is a nice shirt pattern. I just wanted to ask what people do with their cotton flannels when not making pj's? Can you make a skirt? Any pattern ideas out there? ------ Total Stash at end of 2011 -- 700 yds. ??... 2012 Total Items Sewn -- 14 2012 Total Stash Used -- 28.125 (yay!) Remaining stash, including new purchases -- about 708.38 yds 2012 Goal: 700 yds. or less for Dec. 31, 2012. Machines: Babylock Ellisimo; Viking Platinum 770; Brother 900D Serger: Baby Lock Evolve

It was a plaid shirt type pattern and very comfy to wear. ------ http://bgballroom.wordpress.com to follow the progress on my next ballgown.

I thought a flannel shirt had to be a flannel shirt! With the hope that pattern is still in print, what is the pattern #? That could be a great TNT. thanks - ------ I try all things.

I think leopard print flannel would make a cute woven pullover--which I cannot find a patten for at the moment, of course, but something similar to this: http://www.softsurroundings.com/P/Gauze_Pullover/ ------ ~Gem in the prairie

Can't think of anything more comforting than a quilt made from it. ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D
