You just serge the raw edges with the wash away stabilizer underneath. Edges are finished and you can make one up in about 30 minutes, inclduding the cutting of the pieces i would guess. years ago i bought tons of nylon fabric, piled them up on top of each other and did a massive cutting all at once. then serged each one. Had nightgows to last a lifetime! But i found a cotton fabric today with lizards and turtles on it that i thought would be so cute! and i have some white wooly nylon so will be perfect!

They are so easy! I don't like sleeves either. Well, I like long-sleeves but I'm not that big on short sleeves. In the winter, I figure I'll make these with wool interlock and then I can also wear wool interlock pj bottoms and layer up with wool l/s shirts on top. Layers, I like layers!

I should try to make one of these, as that is the exact style of my favorite type of nightie. I do not like sleeves. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
