"Mum can you make me a nightie,?" she asked breezily. "Of course I can," I said confidently. I bought some jersey when I was at Minerva last week after she had asked me, I was looking out for a child-friendly fabric pattern and this seemed to fit the summer nightie bill.
I used the peasant dress/top pattern I used here and made it longer. It was a really quick make because I made the whole thing on my overlocker. Then turned over the casing and hems using a stretch stitch on my Toyota.
Can you see it? I even popped a little lingerie bow on the front. It is light, comfy and nice and long...dare I say it... perfect?
Will making things to order create more demand do you think?

your daughter is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteAw, she looks sooo proud of her new little nightie - and so she should be... well done mum!
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question: yes probably, but on the bright side it gives you the opportunity to try all different patterns & fabrics :-)
Happy weekend,

So sweet that she asked you to make her something! She looks precious in her new nightie.
ReplyDeleteAs usual such a great fabric choice! Such a lovely nightie, but it is so nice that I think I would want to wear it as a dress!
ReplyDeleteAwww that's so adorable and pretty enough to be a summer dress to be honest! love the fabric!

ReplyDeleteCrikey Jo I think you're going to be burning the midnight oil fulfilling requests now! It's pretty enough for day or night and by the gorgeous smile on your little one's face she's pretty pleased with it too! Jane x
ReplyDeleteI want one of those! You are very inspiring Jo, I think I am going to save money for an overlocker..... Have a lovely weekend. Cx
ReplyDeleteYou have this pattern don't you? Give it a whirl, it would work without an overlocker too. Jo x

Hello lovely Jo you are a wonder - I am really wanting to make my little Peeps some nighties as I spend a fortune on new ones for them when they come to stay - this pattern is just perfect and what a lovely job you have done - no wonder Little Miss Gorgeous is happy, she look so cute. Playing catchup so sorry that I am late in sending in comments, am really missing your and your fabulous posts. Will let you know when I am at BH as I would love to see you. Have a great week, big hugs and loves Jo. Dorothyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely perfect :) Such an adorable little nightie, and I love the sea shell print
ReplyDeleteJo, can you make me a nightie? ;) It's beautiful, and I want about ten of those for myself--it looks so comfy. I'd better get stitching.
ReplyDeleteIt is a perfect nightie Jo :-) and no doubt you will be asked to make all sorts of things
