I am in a bit of a shock from how much fleece PJs costs at Land's End or LL Bean. Depending on the pattern, cut and material $25-$30 and $22-$26 respectivelive. And that's before shipping. Ouch! Times five or more that we need? Even bigger OUCH!
My mom offered to help hence the question. How much fabric do you need for a two piece PJs like this http://tinyurl.com/7kmne or this http://tinyurl.com/8gsjf? I looked at some Kwik Sew patterns for babies and 0.8' was enough for 12-18 mos two-piece outfit so I am thinking 1' for a toddler size. Is that about right or should I get 1 1/4? FYI DS is on the verge of moving into size 2T. He is pretty tall for his age, 34 3/4" three months ago, should be about 36" according the growth chart. Hey, at least if we have his PJs sown (sp?) to order his pants won't fall off/be too short for him ;). And I can pick cute fabric.
Also what kind of fleece (or flannel?) would you use for PJs? I have some Malden Mills 200 and 100 wt fleece leftovers from a custom diaper order awhile back.
