How to sew a nightgown - instruction

Despite the abundance of a variety of pajama kits consisting of tops, shorts or pants, many women prefer the old good classics - spacious lengthened nightgowns. Today is not a problem to buy a women's nightgown, but if you want to sew it yourself, then there's nothing easier. It is enough to choose a suitable fabric and decide on the shape. Those for whom sewing a woman's nightgown with her own hands will be "breaking the pen", we offer our master class. Using the photo, you can sew a practical thing that will make the dream sweet and carefree. So, we sew the nightgown with our own hands.

We will need:

  1. Before sewing a nightgown according to the detailed instructions, determine the length of the product and measure the chest girth. Add to the length of 10 centimeters on the allowance, and the chest girth multiply by two, then cut out a rectangle of the appropriate size from the fabric. Fold it in half and draw a line about the diagonal. This will give the shirt a slightly flared silhouette.
  2. Cut off the intended part, but do not throw it away. This fabric is still needed for the decoration of the product. Cut out of it a few strips, which will be used for sewing ruches.
  3. Now cut the armholes. To do this, you can use your T-shirt, attaching it to the fabric. As you can see, we do not need a pattern to sew a nightgown. You can begin to stitch the front and back of the nightgown. First, sew parts along the sides, process the bottom cut, and then the neck and armholes.
  4. In the upper part of the front cloth sew a narrow soft rubber band. Then from the scraps of tissue, cut out two rectangles, bend them in half and stitch them. On the one hand, sew the ruches, having processed the seam of their edges.
  5. Try on a nightgown, adjust the necessary length of straps, and a comfortable nightgown is ready! A small bow of satin ribbon, sewn in front, will be welcome. And do not be surprised if your little princess also wants to become the owner of such a nice nightgown!

Do not forget that the fabric chosen for sewing a nightgown should be natural. In addition, it should be pleasant to the touch. Before buying a cloth, do not hesitate to carefully examine it, lay it to the body, because the quality of your sleep and the morning mood depend on it.
