A word of warning:
Double brushed poly should never be used for making baby’s clothes. Why? Polyester can easily become hot when wearing and since babies cannot regulate their temperature, this can make it dangerous for children who cannot speak up if they feel too hot. It’s best to avoid polyester until your child is old enough to tell you they’re getting hot confidently and with accuracy.
