a flannel nightie



Well, she had to have a flannel nightie, didn't she? The nights are becoming quite cold now, don't you think? So I upped the ante and finished off this project that was started a week or two ago. It's all busy busy busy here.

I used the same Japanese pattern as for this nightie .. possibly because I still had the pattern already drafted out and probably because I'm all for an easier life. In any case, it's a winner of a pattern. The fabric is left over from the Tova dress I recently made and I'm thinking it may just have been growing in the darkness of the cupboard as there's still some left for something else.

I bought some fabulous wool the other day and am itching to get stuck into that. Perhaps it'll have to stay on the back burner a while longer, after all January will doubtless be cold so there's still time for woollen dresses.


Keep warm, everyone!

    I really love this nightgown. The center touch, I assume it's elastic thread? is really beautiful.

    What a cosy looking nightie, she'll be lovely and warm in that on a cold night.
    I may have to commission one as apparently we're having 80mph winds tonight and tomorrow and then lying snow on Friday!! Where are you spring??

    So snug - just right for curling up in with a bedtime drink and story, what ever age you are.

    Snuggle. That's the word that springs to mind when I look at this wonderful, covetable nightie. Snuggle. Warm fire. Toast. Bed socks. Cuddles. Who would have thought your nightie could have conjured up so much warmth and happiness in my mind! Vanessa xxx
