What can you make with flannel?

There are some gorgeous soft flannel prints at my local fabric store and I was sorely tempted to buy some of them (they are good prices too - I'd never really looked at it before). I'm just confused what to make with it - has anyone used it and what did you make?

Tory, I use it all the time.

I use it to line overalls

Have made a Hoodie vest with some, and some dungaree's as well. Will take a pic once the little one is off the iPad.

You could also use it to make some cute fitted nappies with too.

Thanks! Is it strong enough on it's own then as clothing Bernadette?

That was my first thought @Sunset but I'm really funny about them on little people, I much prefer soft squishy, stretchy material until they are older! Maybe a pair for Louis :giggle:

Yes, Vicky still wears flannel pyjamas in winter and she's 12. You could make some nice soft elasticated waist trousers for baby which would be fine without lining.

You could make some gorgeous fitted with flannel! Just think of all those prints you could use!
