Amazingly I have been able to find exactly that material - and in my local shop Calico Laine !
This is the pattern - McCalls shirt, T shirt and two types pf ummer ahprts for youngsters.
I chose this pattern because it has the option for both cotton and stretch tops which makes it very versatile.
The only thing that causes me problems is the collar and how it works with the front facings. I still don't really understand what they want you to do so am fudging it. I am sure I will owrk it out eventually!

I love my automatic buttonhole foot on my new machine so making buttonholes for the front is no problem. I chose a sparkly orange button which picks out the colour of some of the dinosaurs.
I really like this pattern and plan to make a few more but I think next it will be some shorts for Joel using the owl material left over from the first shirt.
