I live in my flannel nightgowns! That's one of the nice things about living in WI... lots of cold nights to snuggle up in them (my kids call them my "muu muus"... very funny). I'm always looking for them. They're hard to come by. Thanks for the links!

Who sells heavy weight flannel?

I'm 5" tall so long enough isn't my problem. I have one that I bought at Walmart eons ago that I really love the design off. It, howvere, is threadbare. I wonder if I could make a pattern out of it? I've never done that before but it's a really simple design. Then I could get whatever kind of flannel or fleece or whatever that I want.

I've worn the ones I've made to shreds.

I have a couple of gowns from LL Bean in that fabric & it's nice. It does shrink, tho.
