All-Nighty Nightgown + Labor Gown
Couldn't load pickup availability
Bedsharer's rejoice! In the All-Nighty, you can sleep with both boobs out and not get cold shoulders. There's even hand mitts - for you, not for the baby!
The skirt ends just below the bust, making nursing in this nightgown very easy. The skirt doubles as an underboob sweat catcher. The upper nursing bodice has two lengths for the busty and not busty. When you're done nursing, you can sew the access closed. And of course, if you're not nursing, there's a regular version.
Pattern options: There are four lengths included, from tunic length to mid-calf. Three sleeve lengths - short, long, and long with hand covers. All of the seams can have snaps added - center front (just the skirt, or full front), center back, and shoulders. We include instructions on how to easily turn this into a labor or hospital gown.
Difficulty: This is a beginner-friendly quick sew, even if you add snap panels. We kept it simple but functional.
Fabric: A wide variety of knits can be used with this pattern. Only 20% stretch is required, which means ponte and some fleece can be used. Use stretch mesh or stretch lace for a sexy sheer nighty.
Yardage: You'll need around 3 yards of stretchy knit.
Special supplies needed: If you're adding snap panels, you'll need bias tape and snaps. Choose snaps that aren't wider than your bias tape.
Maternity friendly: Yes, make according to your current measurements.
Nursing friendly: Yes, nursing option included.
Size range: Our most expansive sizing yet! Adult sizes 2 to 26 included - check the size charts in the images.
Fit: Lightly fitted bodice. Flared in the hips.
Time to complete: Start to finish is about one hour.
