Why Can’t I Use It For Children’s Sleepwear??

AnnieRose · 2 days ago Plus Member

It isn't such an issue now Hayley, (s central heating became more common) but it's the kind of legislation that it's hard to repeal, as it causes more bother than it's worth.

Why Can’t I Use It For Children’s Sleepwear??

SewHayleyJane · 2 days ago Admin

Agree with the others, I think it's a liability thing. I believe children's sleepwear purchased in shops have been treated with flame-resistant chemicals or they have to go through testing in order to comply with safety standards. Different fibres...

This looks fab Glenda, I really like the neckline but if you're not comfortable with it then definitely change it! I knew a quick make sweatshirt was a good idea!!

Choosing Materials

Mel · 2 days ago Plus Member

Hi Dan I’m a self-taught sewist and have been sewing for about 4 years. As most people have said, I usually go by what fabric is suggested on the pattern. What patterns do you like to use for the bag making? I also like to use Pinterest for...

Some of us well remember the winter ritual: after tea, mum or dad would fill the hot water bottles and take them up to tuck in the unheated beds. They would bring down the mightwear, and warm it on the airer in front of the fire. The kids would...

Sometimes I align myself with Pooh Bear and consider myself as a bear with very little brain. Sigh. There was no need to take the neck band off, Ive just made a stand alone cowl out of the scrap fabric!!

I love the socials as I don't have any local sewing friends and this fills a gap. I love how we can participate as much as we want in that sometimes I listen and rarely join in the chat and other times I'm happy to join in and chat. No pressure...

Yes, I agree with @AnnieRose that the flammable bit is likely the reason.

Glenda H · 4 days ago Community Member

So I finished the sweatshirt pretty soon after coming off the social this morning. That means I cut it out on Thursday's social and sewed it up on today's!! I'm on the fence with the neckband. I just don't think it is my style. I much prefer the...

I think (but |I could be out of date) that this dates back to the days when open fires were common. There were a number of accidents in which children's nighties or dressing gowns caught fire. Safety legislation came in stating that all children's...

Hello All, I keep seeing gorgeous fabric that says down the selvage ‘Not intended to be used for children’s sleepwear’. I’ve just seen it again on some brushed cotton. Does anyone know why?

This looks great. Whenever I have to remove length from the back I pin out a wedge until I get it right. Not certain how to do this around the zipper.
