Tuesday July 7th, 1:00-4:00, at the church. (if you want to come, let us know, so we can be sure to have enough tables set up)
Anyone that wants to come and participate in a nightgown making day. Whether you want to make one for yourself, for your daughter/granddaughter, neice, etc.. Bring your sewing machines, as well as fabric. If you don't have a machine, come anyways, we'll probably have enough to share. Stretchy knits work the best for these types of nightgown. Also bring a T-shirt that fits, and you'll cut a pattern off of it. (Unless of course you have pattern for something else you want to do). If the fabric is 60 inches wide, you will probably need your length (from the back of your neck to however long you want it) unlesss you want it really full, then twice the length. The fabric is 45 inches wide, then you will probably need twice your length. A really easy way to finish these nightgowns off is to put lace around the bottom as well as the sleeve. You'll need probably 3-4 yards of lace to do this. (or I can show you how to do a little flutter sleeve that's pretty easy too). If you have any questions, e-mail me at jandhjohnson@msn.com
Here are some examples of the nightgowns I've done for my girls. Maybe it will give you some ideas. :-)

You are so talented! My mom always sewed for us and none of us do it now. I really loved that memory of my Mom. Your kids will love that from you!!!
