Nightie

I made myself a nightie out of an old shirt and some extra jersey. I spent some time making strips of fabric into a braid pattern. I used a yoga bolster to pin before I sewed onto the hem. It's a roughly done nightie, made to look deconstructed, but it's super comfy.

I used the dress form to figure out how to fit it to my body. One change I'd make is the straps, made from braiding strips of the old t-shirt, I'd add some stiffer cord or woven straps to keep them from sagging after wearing.

Hem, in the making

Finished garmet.
