Anyone know a simple pattern for knit nightdress? ------ It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.

Just copy it. I've copied a favorite nightgown several times. It's very simple, just a front and back with straps. The original had 3 rows of pleated ruffles at the bottom. The copies have both been bordered fabrics, on e a print and one embroidered, so I left a slit on the side of those. There are many patterns available, but like you, for a simple gown, I don't think you need a pattern. ------ Liana http://sewintriguing.blogspot.com/ http://artisanssquare.com/sg/ http://www.pbase.com/lianasews

I was learning how to sew knits & it looked like a beginner's project but it was OK to sleep in.
