Okay, so as of recently, I have been trying to do more projects at home because I get so bored. I've knitted an afghan, made a couple of creepy cute creatures, and even started making a sweater. Some of them are cute, some of them are definitely not. The one that I have been having the most trouble with is my sewing machine. Funnily enough, everyone has the same advice, I do it, and it solves nothing.
To make matters worse, I was making pajama bottoms for my son when I noticed that the fabric said not to be used for children's sleepwear on it. Apparently, it's very different from his sweats. He does sleep in his sweats by the way. They are comfy beyond all belief. So I googled this and found out there is a huge debate about whether or not I should have flame retardant stuff in my son's clothes and sheets. This really sucks. This doesn't really bother me at all, but I don't want there to be a fire for some reason and for him to be badly injured because I didn't prepare.
Who in the world decided it was okay to sell the most famous kids fabrics without putting flame retardant in it already so mothers could make awesome pj's without having to worry? I already know that if I make the pj's (that is if my sewing machine cooperates) that I won't buy and use stuff to make it a low flame hazard (which doesn't make it fire-proof by the way).
Also, who makes pj's tight fitting? I wear comfy loose pj's all the time, usually all day long, because it's nice and comfy. My son recently adopted this habit and refuses to wear normal shorts or jeans unless we are going somewhere. Sometimes even then he'll protest.
Thanks for letting me rant. I already know that I can take my sewing machine in to the lady who sold it to me and she'll show me what I am doing wrong. I figure that I'll go ahead and make the pj bottoms. If my husband feels worried about fires, he can buy the fabric stuff and fix it or ask me to fix it after he buys it. Next time I'll just get fabric to make my son a doctor's jacket or something.
