Vintage~style flannel nighties

I had some leftover flannel, found a cute 1950's pattern at Lanetz Living, and stitched up some vintage nightgowns for the girls.

These nighties are tweaked a little since my leftover fabric was not quite long enough. I added ruffles to the hems with some extra pieces after cutting, to make them longer.

And for the ties, I scrounged up some pink ribbon for one and crocheted a couple of chains from cotton yarn for the other.

So very sweet... the nightgowns and especially your little girls. Just like the poem Sugar and Spice and everything nice... that's what little girls are made of.

You are just a treasure! I took home economics years ago and sewed a few really catastrophic creations. You are a whiz and your daughters are so lucky. What darling little nightdresses!

How adorable! I wish I had your talent for whipping up fabric masterpieces... it takes forever for me to finish any crafty project.
