Sewing Sunsets

I have had some time to sew lately and have actually completed a few projects. As you know, I have been sewing pajama pants.  I decided that I also wanted to sew pajama tops to go with these pants.  Before the holidays I had several opportunities to visit JoAnn’s and purchased some great flannel fabric to make tops to go with the pj pants.  The project that I will be sharing with you is actually a nightgown, but it is the exact same pattern as the pj tops; it’s just longer.  All the sewing techniques are the same.

Here is the pattern that I’m using:

Some of the sewing techniques that are covered are sewing in sleeves, understitching, and sewing facings.  In this case, the sleeves are sewn in flat, which is a very easy way to sew in sleeves.  The neckline facing is a litle different than the ones I’ve shared in the past, but it’s quite easy.  I’ll also review the easy technique of applying fusible interfacing. 

I’ve already completed two nightgowns and I’m moving on to sewing a boy’s bathrobe.  I’ll share that project next.

Here is more information (tutorials and pictures) of the sewing techniques that I mentioned here:
