    I am looking for a short sleeve nightgown pattern to sew for my 1 year old granddaughter. Any ideas?

      I make my girls peasant dresses as nighties.  For sleeping, I leave out the arm elastic so it's more comfortable.  Here's a free tutorial if you need one.

      Another idea would be a comfy pant and top set.  Here's a tute for how to draft a pants pattern if you need it.

      Happy sewing!  We'd love to see pictures of them Smiley

        Also, here's a quick little tutorial of how to take an old t-shirt and turn it into a girls' nightgown:

        And here's a pattern from our shop:
        Prairie Rose Nightgown
        It's a long sleeve, but you shouldn't have too much trouble making it shorter.

          I made my girls pajamas out of the Miss Madeline pattern.  They did not want it tight around their tops so I just left out the elastic that makes it an empire waist.  They look adorable and the girls think that they are comfy as well.  A nice plus is that the pattern is then dual purpose!

            This one is simple and crafty....
            It's made from an existing or new Pillow Case!
