Before attempting to sew more of Pumpkin's blanket I wanted to test the sewing machine on some cotton blends. I had already cut out the pieces for Little Miss's nightgown, so I figured that I'd give it a go. It worked! After trying short and long seams, straight and curved, I decided to just go ahead and finish.
I wanted Little Miss to be able to wear it for a few months at least, but it ended up being a bit bigger than that. The sleeves have elastic in them, so that isn't a problem. I just had to add an extra fold/roll/ruffle at the bottom. Either way, she loves it and has danced around the house in it last night and tonight.
When I purchased the pattern last month, I had to look through all the pattern books at JoAnn's before I actually found a girl's nightgown. I had no idea it would be so difficult to find one. I used
McCall's M4646. I added the heart pockets from the robe pattern to the front since Little Miss requested them.
