I know that several people have mentioned that they were intimidated by woven shirts. They are really not that hard once you get the hang of it, and it is a great way to make fun stuff for those boys!
For this tutorial, I made a pajama top, but I use this same method for all of my son's "bowling" shirts.
Both of these shirts were made using the Little Fella shirt in Ottobre 3/09. I self-drafted a front facing and altered the front opening just a bit. There are plenty of woven shirt/lounge shirt/bowling shirt patterns out there right now, and any of the ones with a front facing will work for this sewalong.
I like to size up when making flannel pajama tops to make them more comfortable to wear.
