Not Tonight Honey

 Hello Readers. I found some great vintage flannel at a thrift store a while back. (A "while" could be a week or many months. It's vague.) It was very pretty but also had a fun vintage color scheme. I made it into a fabulous night gown, not a sexy nightgown, a very comfy granny nightgown.

Sexy? No. Stylish? No. Enticing? No. Comfy as heck? YES!!

To make this nightie I needed a pattern that would work with the small piece I had. I used the Luna Tank pattern from Helen's Closet Patterns. It's free online to download. 

I cut out the tank top but I just made it really long. My fabric was limited so I just made it fit the best I could.

I used my serger to connect the front and back pieces. 
 
The pattern called for using bias tape to finish the neckline and armholes. I decided to use some lace trim.
 
 
To finish the neckline and armholes I used the lace trim from this green dress I refashioned 2 years ago. This lace has been sitting in a bin waiting to be used because I save everything. 

 
This was probably the most comfortable thing I have ever made. 5 stars. Would recommend. Thanks for reading along, now go make something super cozy for yourself.

***Year End Update- This flannel isn't sexy but I am cozy at night when I wear it.
