(she assured me that her hair was combed, but she had just come out from the bath. She is also munching a cookie)
I also made a nightshirt(gown) for Eamon. He has been wanting one, so I crafted it from the same pattern I have been using for Aine's nightgowns/tunics. I used IKEA fabric in the same print as Aine's dress below.
The best result of the day was the dress I made for Aine from the IKEA dot fabric. I used an Ottobre pattern from the 3/2008 issue. It is the tie-back dress, and it is a huge hit. I did not finish under the wee hours of the night, so I hung the finished result on her doorknob. She immediately put it on and modeled for photos. She LOVES it. A big plus is it spins. I am sure she will be wearing it a lot this summer.
Great sewing! Makes me wish I could figure out patterns.
ReplyDeleteMy son would also like a night shirt/gown...
