Mum found this lovely pillowcase for $1 – so it too is transformed into a nightie!  I suppose that it could be a dress, but it is made of flannelette.

The ric-rac, bias binding, elastic and thread cost more than the fabric – that’s typical when sewing though; the notions are almost always the most expensive part!  The bottom frill is made from fabric cut off the top to shorten the pillowcase a little (Miss Clare is a short girl, like her mother) with the hem bound in bias binding.  I also bound the neckline and armholes in bias, and used it for the shoulder ties.

And obviously, no baby yet!
