I haven't sewn a nightgown. Mainly I sew to repair garments, add buttons and holiday crafts too.

This is great, My mom will love it because in a nursing home it is more convenient to wear a nightgown, rather than a pajama, thanks for sharing
Cynthia Haltom from Diamondhead on May 07, 2013:
Excellent idea making night clothing has always been something I do for fun. My grandmother was a very large women and I used to sew her nighties and bed jackets.

Now, if I could make a sexy red nightie without a sewing machine, I'd be WAY in! I can't even sew on a button but sure love the patterns you've featured here.
Nancy Tate Hellams from Pendleton, SC on December 22, 2012:
I have a couple of boxes of my husband's mother's sewing patterns. I need to get them out and research them. I am not much of a seamstress but sure admire those that are.

I've found many vintage patterns at estate sales. Sometimes the sellers will make you a deal on a whole box full just to get them moved along so they don't have to bother with storing them. If you end up with some that you don't want, you can usually sell them pretty easily on eBay.
Lorelei Cohen from Canada on October 24, 2012:
I would have never thought of trying to make my own nightgowns. I have a sewing machine but currently just use it for doing repairs. Food for thought?
Peggy Hazelwood from Desert Southwest, U.S.A. on September 14, 2012:
Great idea! I have fabric I'm not sure what to do with. A nightgown would be perfect!
Joan Haines on September 13, 2012:
Home sewn nighties are super comfy. I have sewn lots of them. Robes too! "Squid Angel blessed."
Diana Grant from United Kingdom on September 01, 2012:
Lots to choose from here - Blessings, though I would have liked to see a few more patterns for larger sizes. I did once make my own nightgown, very successful except that the knitted jersey cloth was a bit thick and heavy.
