Our story
Why one print in every size is harder than it sounds
Family Feeling makes cotton sleepwear for everybody in a house, and the whole difficulty of that sentence is in the word everybody. A print has to work on a 12 month old and on a grown man, and those two garments have almost nothing in common except the fabric they are cut from.
A toddler set is snug, short and washed twice a week. An adult set is loose, long and washed when somebody remembers. Printing the same reindeer across both and having them look like one family is the actual craft here.
Why the range is built around cotton
Every set here is cotton, and that is a decision rather than a default. Cotton breathes, which matters most for the person in the house who cannot tell you they are too hot. It also takes a print cleanly and survives the number of washes children's sleepwear actually gets.
What cotton does not do is stay perfectly the same size forever. It moves a little on the first hot wash and then settles. Washing cool is the whole answer, and it is on every care label for a reason.

What the range is, in plain terms
The Family Feeling studio designs pajamas and puts its name on them. Our part of the job is the pattern, the print and the fit, and the useful things to say about a set are what it is cut from, which sizes it exists in, and where it will disappoint you.
Two of those disappointments are worth printing here rather than burying. Seasonal prints are made in one run and do not come back the same year, so a Christmas set bought in December is bought from what is left. And not every print exists in every size: the table further down this page counts exactly which ones do.
The photograph is the point, and so is the Tuesday after
Families buy matching pajamas for one morning a year. What decides whether the money was well spent is the eleven months afterwards, when the same set is just pajamas.
So the sets are built to survive being ordinary. Plain cuffs that do not scratch, prints that go all the way round rather than sitting on the chest like a badge, and a cotton weight that works in a warm bedroom in July as well as a cold one in January.
One print, five patterns
The part that surprises people is that a family print is five separate garments, not one design scaled up and down. A baby set needs a wider neck opening and a shorter rise. A boy of twelve needs length in the leg that a size 6 pattern cannot give by stretching. An adult set needs shaping through the body that no child's pattern has at all.
So a print that reaches the whole family costs five patterns rather than one, and that is exactly why most prints in this range do not reach the whole family. The table further down counts which ones do, and the number is smaller than anybody expects.
Sizes, plainly
Children's sizes run by number from 2 to 18, baby by month, adults from Small to 3X-Large. The number on a child's set is an age, and children ignore ages, so height is the measurement worth trusting.
Where a maker publishes a height range for a size, it is on the card. Where nobody publishes one, comparing against a set your child already wears beats every chart.
