Nighty nightgown
My husband surprised me yesterday! James said he wanted to take a drive with all of us...and we got in the car, and drove for about 40 minutes. Then he pulled into the parking lot of a great fabric store that I like. He told me he'd watch the kids while I went in there and shopped for a while. That was so nice, and totally unexpected!
I bought some patterns while I was there, and some material, lace, and elastic. We also went to walmart to get some more fabric, and Bonnie picked out a nightgown pattern she really wanted, along with some purple kitty fabric she wanted it to be in.
The first pattern I tried when I got home was a nightgown pattern I had bought for Bonnie. Silly me made a pattern about 3 sizes too large for her...LOL But, it still fits her okay, it just looks a little big. Also, I ran out of the purple kitty fabric and had to make the sleeves red.
She loves it anyway, and she will be able to fit into it for a few years before we have to get rid of it! So that's a good thing.

Bethany,
That nightgown is SOOO adorable!!!! I may need to try my hand at make one for my daughter too!!!!
Sorry, I haven't had a chance to get back to you email wise, my family and I left for SD on the 2nd of October as my aunt was dying, and got back on the 10th.
I hope everything is going well with you and your family!
In Christ,
Autumn

My MIL made a beloved nightgown for my SIL when she was about that age, shaped like a large T-shirt w/ stretchy cotton jersey material, and my SIL wore it until her early teens b/c once it was way too small to be a nightgown, it still fit as a T-shirt!
If this is Bonnie's fave, I could see you taking the fabric & turning it into a throw pillow or stuffed kitty for her bed, after she outgrows it.
