If you haven’t seen these fuzzy little foxes yet, they’re part of Cloud9’s new Fanfare line by the fabulous Rae (of Made by Rae) – the prints are so sweet, and it’s the the softest, plushest flannel I’ve ever felt – no lie. Over the next week or so, Rae is having a little blog tour to show off some Fanfare creations, and I’m kicking it off today along with Deborah from Whipstitch!
It’s most definitely flannel season around here (lots of that non-stop pouring rain we’re famous for), and Oscar is very cozy in his foxy new Fanfare duds.
I’ve made lots of these little sets – the pants are from the Oliver + S Bedtime Story pattern, and the top is a store-bought tee with an appliquéd patch. It makes a cute little outfit, and the whole thing takes well under an hour to complete. Easiest lounge wear ever.
I chose the gold foxes and paired them with a gray crosshatch from Architextures.
And a cozy flannel crib sheet was also in order – in the gold Bunting print, to match. I’m a sucker for those triangles.
I used the super simple MADE tutorial (same as my last crib sheets) – the directions say your rectangle should be 45 inches across, and after washing the flannel it was about 41 inches wide, but the finished sheet still (snugly) fits our mattress. You could also use a crib sheet pattern with side panels (Amy Butler’s book Little Stitches for Little Ones has one, I know), if you want to add a little extra width.
And I love using organic fabric for crib sheets – I figure he spends a good 15 hours a day with his face pressed against that sheet…it’s probably a good thing. 🙂
Thanks to Cloud9 for the fabric, and to Rae for letting me in on the fun! If you’re on the hunt for Fanfare, Rae has compiled a list of retailers here. And stay tuned for the rest of her blog tour for more Fanfare projects!
oh my gosh, I didn’t even think to do a crib sheet! How cozy and adorable! Love it
thanks dana! and thanks for the great tutorial, too!
I agree–the crib sheet is genius!! Looks so yummy for cool weather. Awesome.
so pretty!!!! obviously I had to switch days, but I love your projects!!! I want to make a set of sheets for my own bed. 🙂 I was going to ask how much the flannel shrunk up after washing. cute cute!!!
thanks anna! i can’t wait to see your goods (but i unlinked ya, oops!!)
It shrinks up more than normal quilting cottons — I measured it and it was about 40.5″ across post-wash/dry. That’s actually the reason it gets so lofty though so it’s all good!! 🙂
Fantastic! Love those pjs on Oscar! Rae’s Fanfare flannel is on my list of fabrics I must buy this winter. As always Gail, you sewing projects are a treat to see!
[…] over to Probably Actually to see more of this cute ensemble in action as well as a crib sheet!! So cosy! And come back later […]
LOVE these so much!! Oscar is such a cutie, I hope he enjoys his new stuff!! 🙂
soooooo cute. knowing how cozy and soft this stuff is, a crib sheet was a perfect idea! three cheers for the bedtime story pajama pattern, too. 😉
Love these! I would recommend against the Amy Butler crib sheet pattern. It is so difficult to get on and off the mattress. The Made tutorial is great! It is fast and has continuous elastic around the bottom.
They looks so comfy – I want a pair for myself lol 🙂
Oh I can imagine how good those little pants feel. Just gorgeous
The flannel looks so soft and snuggly…perfect for lounge wear! Cute outfit.;)
I love that little patchworked patch you made for the top – totally pulls the outfit together and is just adorable:)
so cute! so sweet! so comfy!
I want a grown-up pair for myself! So cute!
I love that you added the fox touch on the onesies to match the pajama bottoms! and good thinking on those crib sheets!
I really love these fanfare pj pants! Have bought the material, but WHERE did you find the long sleeve t shirt? I can’t find them, looking for a 3T…any ideas?
I usually get my plain long-sleeved tees at Target or Old Navy – they should both have them for cheap!
Thank you…found them at Old Navy!
