Lulu's Nighty

My sister informed me that my niece, Lulu, wanted a new night gown, so I decided I would make her one for Christmas. I used the size 5 shirt pattern from McCall's 6500 and cut it a little longer. I'm not one for following the complete directions, so I cut it out and just started sewing it up.

I was really shocked...

This shirt looked like it would fit me... not my 4 year old niece! REALLY!!!

I used Flat Felled Seams to keep it comfy on the inside and Cinch up the neckline with some elastic. That helps make it look a bit more little girly...

I added some length to the bottom, but since it was a shirt... maybe too long? I decided it will work. Maybe I'll add some pink stretch lace. I rolled the hem on the sleeves and at the bottom. Being that it's a knit, it ruffled perfectly.  I'll be sure to post a picture of her wearing it.(I have to ship it to her.) Hopefully she loves it. I mean she LOVES Pink!!!
