A Happy Day, a New Sewing Machine Acquired and Creating a Comfy Nightgown to Match My Hair Bonnet
Hello, dear creative hivers, hope you all had a great day and not so much as tiring as my day went, even though it is a happy day for me, it feels really exciting to meet up with my #Needleworkmonday post today, which to be sincere I thought I wouldn't meet up with, if you follow me, or regular on a NWM you might have already noticed my commitment to sharing my sewing journey in this amazing community.
Well, what almost made me miss out is all for a good cause, for a while now, I've been saving to get myself a brand new sewing machine, and guess what, I fulfilled that desire today😊 I got a brand new machine, which would further boost my sewing passion and productivity, arriving late from the market, I had to quickly draft my today"s post.l, though today's post isn't about the sewing machine I bought, I can't help but share the joyful news, don't you worry, as I will make time to share more juicy info about my new sewing acquisition in a full detailed post and would probably make it an unboxing post, stay alert!😁
Today, I would love to share a simple sewing project I did over the weekend which arose from a need after a night of discomfort, you might want to read this post to understand better, in my previous post I made a hair bonnet after having a sleepless night due to my new hairstyle getting in the way, after making that hair bonnet,
I still had some leftover satin fabric, so I thought, why not make a comfy nightwear to match my new hair bonnet, it's a plus to me after all, from one necessity, another one arises, and since it's a little task for me, I went ahead with the making process, managing the fabric I had left.
Materials used are just the satin fabric and a marching colored thread.
If you have a little sewing idea, I bet you can recreate your own nightgown as well, following the steps I would provide in this post, it's easy, straightforward forward, and less time-consuming.
- What I did first was to fold the fabric into four, then draft an off-shoulder gown pattern on it with my body measurement.
- Next, I cut both front and back out which is the same pattern for both, since it's a bit free-fitted, it would be easy to wear.
- I joined both and front and back by the sides using seam allowance.
- moving on, I cut our bias strip using the same fabric
- I used the strips to pipe the chest area of both front and back
- Using the strip, I also piped the armhole of the night dress, elongating it to form the sleeves, and here is the final look of my night, it looks so pretty on me, especially with the matching bonnet, I love my new functional dress.
Thank you for reading ❤❤
