The new and improved nightgown!!

 Well, I have started working on making my own version of the classic Hanro nightgown.

So I ended up buying the closest styled nightgown pattern- Kwik Sew 3980.

So, I decided to use some 4 way knit from my stash and am working on the muslin of it along, with a nice lace lingerie elastic.  I cut out the large size.









Did not need the darts on this at all. It's way too big!!


So, now I have pinned out the side seams on it and have started marking the adjusted side seam, with a sliver of soap.




As you can see, after marking the RSS, I have thread traced on top of the new line..
