I started to make a shirt. Here it is all laid out ready to cut. It is a very fine fabric. I used pattern weights instead of pins I was trying to be super patient. But I could not get it cut out right. I cut out the pattern piece and held up the fabric and it looked nothing like the pattern piece. It is very slippery. Instead of fighting with this fabric I decided to let the fabric tell me what it wanted to be. And that ended up being a night gown! Which I am enjoying wearing. It is supper soft and comfy.
I made it with no pattern. I sewed the selvedge edges together to created a fabric tube then I simply draped the fabric around my dress mannequin and stitched it where I liked it.
I finished the top edge and added straps using some satin bias binding that I purchased to use with this fabric. The only seam is at the back of the night gown.
Then I hemmed the bottom. I was having major trouble getting this fabric cut straight so the hem is a little wonky. but oh well. It was an experiment with a type of fabric I have never before worked with and is for sleeping.
You are going to have to take me at my word that it came out looking decent and fitting great. Did I mention it is really see-through, I do not need an x-rated blog post on my hands so you can use your imaginations if you like.
