@Lilian
- in the opening instructions it states "robes" will be accepted so presumably that means dressing gowns too.

Thanks
@Kenora
after I posted I scrolled to the start and read that 'robes' count so I may be joining, I'll see if I can make a start

A dressing gown is a robe,
@Lilian
so it would be fine, I think.

I've had the pattern and fabric for some pyjamas for months. Maybe this is the push I need to actually start them!

I have some brushed cotton/flannelette fabric, should i wash it beforehand? Is it likely to shrink?
...........................................
I've just popped it in the washing machine as it looked a bit grubby in places.

Yes
@Diane
i would definitely wash before hand it saves a lot of heartache.
I have a nightdress I want to make and I might do some more leftover knickers made from my scraps.
I would love to make a bra too as the ones I used to buy are no longer made but trying to find something that fits not only me but my requirement of extreme comfort is not easy.

Experience has taught me that shrinkage is better happening before the garment is made rather than after.
I'm planning on some boxer shorts for this comp. No I will not be modelling them

If I get the time, I have a dressing gown I want to make for the cabin. Yes, I overdress. I also feel if you are taking me on a vacation I get to sleep all day and be up long enough to lounge whilst my husband cooks meat.
Of course...it'll probably be PJ pants.

Well, this is a hard one. I have far too many pyjamas, nighties, and gowns, so it's thinking cap on...
The one thing I do need, on occasion, is a full underslip... :thinking:

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!

2 weeks of sewing time left, what are you planning, PJ botts, full slips or culotte slips, bralettes?
I might do a culotte slip to wear under skirts/dresses. I want to do a bralette but don't currently have a pattern which is speaking to me.

I bought some jersey fabric with a bunny design on many months ago. I fished it out the other day with the thought of actually making the intended jim-jams. Whether this will happen in time is anybody's guess

I made a start on my nightdress about 10 days ago but, as you can see, I had a lot of help and supervision!

Despite this I got on very well with it, and don't have very much left to do. However, I took the opportunity to work in the garden for a while on Friday and Saturday. Now, my neck has "gone" again so I have no idea when I'll be able to sew. Patience is definitely required. I hope I'll be able to finish before the end of the month.
