My girls love flannel. A lot. They have flannel blankets, flannel sheets, and flannel pajamas. In fact Ruth (my 3 year old) even has her own little trunk full of flannel...pink cuts of flannel fabric pieces. And so I was thinking there has to be a way to let my girls wear the kind of fabric that they love....which is perfect to keep them toasty warm during the winter...but not have them look like they are wearing pajamas. So I tried a few things and I think I found my favorite way: ... View the Post
