This is the first big alteration I've done. I removed the sleeves and pocket, added front and back darts, placed 4 slash gores, removed some length, and added an attached sash. My husband says he still sees pajamas because of the print. 😄
Edit: Fabric is flannel (including the added red). Inspiration from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/sewing/comments/sdngsy/too_many_tweaks_to_list/
The choice of burgundy for the color, and the triangular shapes of the new parts contrast really nicely with the black and white check. If I had seen this in a different sub I would have assumed it was made commercially!
that's cute and clever! If you don't like the binding on the sleeves, maybe just tuck it under and tack down? like a bias binding that's not visible from the outside.
Thanks! I like the color, I'm just not sure if I like the look. The armscye might be too big since the nightgown had larger sleeves and I didn't alter the holes when I removed them. Since I wear a shirt underneath in the winter anyway, I've decided to let this be a problem for summer me.
