new nighties
Managed to score a lovely small, cotton sheet for 50p. One edge is scalloped and I'll use this as the hem for one of the nighties. I need to get these made to tempt Maddie away from the nasty sweaty, synthetic, red affair she insists on wearing !

Bit of retro embroidery will look rather cute too, don't you think ? Hope to get these finished over the weekend...


these look quite promising. i can't wait to see them finished!

Strange how children are drawn to nylon nasties! It's the same here. Looks like they new nighties will be lovely.

Looking forward to seeing the finished project. I've had a pyjama pattern sitting here for months now and just can't get around to doing it! Lovely looking cake on the last post..

Ah yes, I remember the crackle of my polyester nighties growing up! Look forward to seeing the end result.

oh... I bet these will be fab. I've only got boys. Not the same thing when it comes to sewing...
Not as much fun.
