As it turned out, the fabric from these nightgowns became the inspiration for Christmas 2011...
For example, it suddenly occurred to me that with a few sewing tweeks -- I could transform the ugly little sleeper Lillian's baby doll was wearing into a LOOK-A-LIKE nightgown!!
In this picture, the girls (altho fully dressed at the time) -- are wearing their 2011 Christmas nightgowns...Emily, Lillian, the baby doll...and....can you see what else I did??
YES, OF COURSE -- I made a nightgown for Sophie, too!!
Here, Sophie is posing with the babydoll...
Sophie's outfit was a last-minute inspiration when I was at Walgreen's on Christmas Eve. Checking out, I saw a little doggie t-shirt and it HIT ME. But I didn't have much time and I'm not smart enough to figure out how to make a doggie dress -- so I had to buy the t-shirt for a base.I paid $7.99 for Sophie's t-shirt!! So it officially cost more than all the adult nightgowns put together!
Yes, I know. I am incredibly cheap. In the next picture -- you can see MY NIGHTGOWN...which started as a knit zebra dress....I used the 2011 inspiration fabric to make square sleeves....then put it on the yoke....and as an insert in the front....I didn't get a picture of me wearing it. Yet.
Gheesh...I LOVE TO SEW!!
