Whittney and I made nightgowns for the four girls.
Maisy's nightgown will have to come later, right now her feet get too cold at night.
It is just a version of the
pillowcase dress, but instead of using pillowcases, we made a tube out of one yard of eyelet and cut it to the height of the girls. (They wanted the nightgowns to hide their feet.) Follow the basic pillowcase directions up through making the casing. Then, instead of feeding ribbon through the casing, you cut a piece of elastic 6 1/2" for the front and one 7" for the back.
Feed the elastic through the casing and sew it in place on either side. Measure and cut lace for the straps and sew them into place.
Ella and Livy were excited to have best friend matching nightgowns, but they weren't the only ones who loved their nightgowns.
Sadie said she felt like a princess. I think she looks like one.
