Sew a lightweight, comfy nightie for your little one with the Summer Nightie FREE Pattern published in the Sew Much ADO blog. This pattern is available in size 2-3T.
What I love the most about sewing PJs for the kids is that there are one of a kind and they are happy that they were sewn by mom.

Print pattern at 100% (no scaling) and tape pieces together, matching triangles. Cut fabric as instructed on pattern, including “additional pieces to cut” as noted on front/back pattern piece.
1/2″ Seam allowances are included in the pattern.
You’ll Need:
1 1/4 yd 58″ wide knit fabric (can use contrast knit for the neck and armhole bands if desired)
Sewing Instructions:
There are step by step illustrated instructions in the Sew Much ADO blog.
Sewing with Knits:
Sewing with knits can be tricky at the beginning, but once you learn the basics it is even easier than sewing with woven fabrics. Below are some tips:
- Cut with a Rotary Cutter.
- Use Ball Point Jersey Machine Needles
- A Serger will make your job a lot easier, but if you don’t have a serger you can use a zig zag stitch.
- Use a Stretch Twin Needles for the finishing (hem and sleeves)
I hope you enjoy sewing this nightie for your little girl.
Happy Sewing,
Anabelle
