Above you can see the finished baby doll nightgown sewn from lavender, dotted flannel. This doll measures eleven inches long and the length of her arms across the chest, measures nine inches.
Instructions for Sewing the Flannel Nightgown:
- Print and cut out the outer gown of the pattern first.
- Lay this pattern out on top of a folded piece of flannel with right sides together. Pin it down.
- Cut out two pieces, front and back.
- Sew the flannel nightgown together at the shoulders first using a straight seam.
- Then cut out the sleeve patterns from the print in the same way with right sides facing together, two pieces of flannel.
- Sew, gather and tuck if needed the sleeve into place on the garment at the shoulders first.
- Now sew a single, long stitch running along the length of the sleeve down the sides of the gown, right sides facing together. Repeat for the opposite side.
- Turn the nightgown inside out and sew a hem at the bottom opening.
- Cut a three inch opening at the top collar in front for the doll to slip it's head through.
- Line this opening with a ribbon to finish the edges.
- Clip a small tab and attach snaps to it and at the top of the opening. (see photo above)
- Attach the tab using a whip stitch so that the collar may be closed with snaps or Velcro or a button alternatively.
- Finish the sleeve openings with the same type of ribbon that was used to finish the collar with.
