Vintage Simplicity 3503 size 4 increased in width to size 5-6.
Alexander Henry Christmas fabric with accents of brown polka dot. I also used vintage pink cotton rick rack and vintage pink buttons.
I don’t care for flannel sewing because of how much flannel fabric pills after a couple of washings – it’s like the prettiness goes away. I solved my idiosyncrasy by lining a cotton woven instead. You’d think this snuggly flannel was a true coordinate made for the print. I love the little “Especially Handmade by Mommy” tag.
Flannel gets so icky looking because all the stores only stock "quilter's flannel" that is brushed on only one side. Good old double-brushed flannel was warm and cozy and held up well. Does anyone know where to find it?
Thanks everyone! Winding Ways: I've had much better luck with Brushed Cotton (Moda makes it sometimes)… I've sewn with that in the past and had great luck, but the prints are VERY limiting.

Very neat to put the flannel on the inside. I agree, flannel gets worn out looking easily. Very pretty with the trim, ricrac, topstitching.
This is ridiculously cute! It looks so professional, well done!!
I agree! Putting the flannel on the inside was genius!
