About childrens nightwear
Children's nightwear covers items in the sizes 00–14, including pyjamas, nightdresses and nightshirts, dressing gowns and bathrobes, loose boxer shorts, all-in-ones, and infant sleep bags.
Sewing patterns
Patterns are templates that are used to trace the shape of the garment onto a piece of fabric. The fabric can then be cut to size and sewn together to form a garment.
All patterns for children's nightwear must carry a safety warning label about the hazards associated with flammable fabrics and nightwear styles.
Risks and injuries
