The fabric is some bamboo jersey I got at my local Fabricville (on a whim just checked and this fabric is actually on sale in their online store) and is incredibly soft. I also made some burp cloths (free pattern from P4P) and a nursing coverup (from SUAT here, I am ashamed to say I paid for such an easy pattern but I was on a late night roll). BTW the cover-up and burp clothes make for a great insta baby gift if you ever need one.
Here is the nightgown pattern from Peekaboo:
Like all Peekaboo patterns it was an easy sew but, as I mentioned before, I found there was too much bulk in a small area around the neckline with those lapped seams when I serged them and in subsequent versions of this nightgown I used a small zigzag instead and I was much happier with it.
I have to say I as pleased when my DIL said she liked nightgowns. I remember myself how easy they were for night time changes on really little babies and the elastic bottom keeps them from riding up.
I am having a lot of fun over here.

Her mail delivery person is going to be busy, I see..... :)
What a sweet baby! Of course, I am sure she is the cutest baby in CA, no doubt. I love these little nightgowns, and I bet they are great for quick changes. Keep on rolling...
I've always loved the look of a baby in a nightgown. She just looks adorable.
What a beautiful baby, Barbara. Congratulations! And what a nice nightgown.
The cover up for nursing I don't understand. Why should you hide your baby under a blanket when you give it food? Looks unconfortable to me.
Have lots of fun sewing. Bye!
Barkcloth in Amsterdam
Barkcloth I couldn’t agree more. I had my first baby in Australia and we just openly breastfed wherever we were, meetings, parties on benches ag the park. When I came back to North America I was so disappointed/shocked that women hid their breasts and babies whenever they nursed in a public place. Because my DIL is in the US I knew she would nurse modestly at least in front of older relatives do I made the cover up. Had mixed feelings however because personally I myself have always nursed publicly wherever I was!
