I was soooo daring last night! I cut out this pattern, instead of tracing

It only cost me £1, so I wasn't too bothered. There's a nice gathered top on it, (these seem to be all the rage) which I thought DD would like, so last night I made a toile. Finished it at 6 this morning (rough sleep), and just need to insert the elastic, then I can check the size.
I had an idea that I could alter this into one of those tops with the frill around the top, - I made one for myself several centuries ago
Anyone made anything off this pattern? It seems very easy, and lots of nightwear variations.

No, but E is precisely the nightie pattern I need! There is a very good range of styles on there.
Now can I bring myself to use a tissue pattern again after the joys of Style Arc's heavier paper and pdf patterns on printer paper...?

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Acorn, they were on sale at my local fabric shop, so at £1, I thought I'd give it a go. I think there are some similar free pdf's online, but this will do me for now!
