My daughter and I have matching nightshirts. It was a case of having plenty of knit yardage. When Kailey arrived for Easter I knew she'd need one too. It was just a matter of having the doll in the sewing room, having the time and the inclination. So what do you think of Kailey's latest garment? This will go in the little quilted tote basket I made, along with a pair of sneakers, and the hawaiian sarong dress I made. DD will receive those at the beginning of June. DD seems to think Kailey should wear shorts under her dress for modesty like she herself does, so those are on my list too. Can you tell how much I'm looking forward to making those? How about not at all?
It's one thing to take clothes of any size that you already have and improvise a pattern on that, but to make shorts with nothing but a waist size to go on? Only time will tell how I'll do. Wish me luck.

That is a cute nightshirt. Good luck with the shorts. I guess it's a matter of trial and error.
Very cute nightshirt. I can understand not being so thrilled about making shorts. Have you checked out the web for free patterns? Here's one place:

Cute shirt. About those shorts - Mommy will make then because that is just who Mommy is. Good luck.
Cute nightshirt, but good luck with the shorts!
Jessica is lucky to have such a crafty Momma! Very awesome nightshirt. Jessica is a girl after my own heart because I'm super modest. My doll would need shorts too. LOL
