I made nightgowns for my TX girls. Used the pillowcase dress design. Didn't consider how confining the width of a pillowcase might be if the nightie was ankle length and the girl was 7 or 9 years old. So, they came back home with me. The plan was to get a llittle more fabric and add some fullness to the skirt. Well, believe it or not, Joannes was out of both flannels I had used to make those nighties. Sooooo, I went to plan B. Got interlock knit, and used a different pattern -- but not that different. Anyway, the two older girls got a nightgown and a flannel pillowcase(from the original nightie). For the youngest, the skirt was plenty full but since I could cut off the bodice part and use a pattern to cut new bodice that would fit better, I did revamp that gown too. Sounds way more confusing than it was.
Charlotte got a flannel nightie
Molly Beth and Suzannah got a nightie and a flannel pillowcase.
I got to cross off another To Do project Woo Hoo!!
