Yesterday, I made this nightie for a friend’s daughter.
You can bet that I am most excited about using fold-over elastic! It went as binding around the neckline. Then I used it to bind the hem edges – end of arms and bottom of nightie. I know I could have done the bottom hem/binding area better – now that I’ve done it once, I’ll do it better next time.
My friend brought the fabric and the pattern over. The fabric is super cute – a ribbed cotton. I will have to get back to you on what pattern we used – my friend took it back home with her. It is for a top and pj pants, and also a one-piece sleeper. This nightie is the result of lengthening the pattern for the top. All the tops in the pattern set are raglan sleeve.
Using the same pattern, we also sewed two pairs of pj pants for my friend’s son, again out of ribbed cotton, but a boy print.
Every time I sew little clothes like this, I wish I had done more sewing when my kids were little.
So cute. I love the fabric!
