Flannel Night Shirt

Since it's winter, being comfy and warm in bed is a high priority.  My regular nightshirts just weren't doing it for me, and I was looking for a clothing-type sewing project, so I headed out to JoAnn's to see what I could find.

This Simplicity pattern had exactly what I wanted and I found a cute cherry blossom pattern flannel fabric, black buttons and black trim. (On a side note, if you have a smartphone, both Michael's and JoAnn's have coupon apps that you can use in conjunction with your normal print/email coupons.)

I'd never really made anything with piping and I don't have a special foot to use with it, so figuring that out was a little tricky.  Maybe next time I'll try my zipper foot.  

The only adjustments I made were shortening the sleeve and body length and cutting the hem so it was straight instead of curved.

I really love it.  The flannel is so soft and cozy and I feel kind of cute when I wake up in the morning, crazy hair, morning breath and all.
