Summer Nightie from One Yard Wonders

I finished the Summer Nightie from One Yard Wonders this afternoon.  I love this fabric, but it's not something I would ever decorate with (it's just not right for my home) and it's not something I'd wear out during the day, so I thought this would be the perfect project for it.   I can't wait to wash it so it gets all soft and cozy.




The nightie itself is really short on me, so I think I'll make the little sleep shorts to go with it.  I have plenty of this fabric.

Thoughts on this project:
1. I made the small and if you use packaged bias tape, it will take every inch of the 3 yards in the package; there's nothing to spare, so be careful.
2. The small triangles (which create the top) are really small.  It fits me fine, there's just not a lot of coverage, if you know what I mean.
3. If I did this project again, I would cut four triangles for the top so I could make them lined and have a place to hide the seam allowances by folding them up inside the triangle and blind stitching it closed by hand.
