Every year on Christmas Eve we give the children a gift to open. It usually is pajamas of some kind, and now that I am learning to sew I'm trying to make those myself. The boys get standard pajama pants made of warm flannel. And youngest daughter gets a pretty princess night gown made of a soft warm flannel print with a little lace to dress it up. The pattern for the night gown I found at the GoodWill for a quarter. It is clearly from the 70's.
This shows the front of the night gown much better. I don't put lace on the wrists like it says because it tends to irritate children. I love sewing these easy little projects that don't take much time.
So cute! I got a sewing machine for Christmas and as soon as I'm done with the afghan I'm knitting, I'm going to start working my way through a "learn to sew" book.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck Michelle! I used to knit alot but after learning to sew I mostly stopped. Sewing is so much faster, even for blankets and potholders.
ReplyDeleteThere are also many sewing groups you can join that will help you learn.
