Valentine's Nightie How-to, Threadbanger Projects

soooo cute! good video

boob area! again! XD (laughs maniacally) that's sooo cute. : D fetching scissors and a pillowcase now.....

Darlin', you should be REALLY proud of this outfit. you totally totally rock. Clicking over to your etsy shop now. ^_^

I love pillowcase projects! So much so that I usually make them from scratch instead of actual pillowcases. I've made dresses, tops, and add drawstrings, elastic or belts to make it more form fitting or accessorized.

Shirring would work well for the elastic parts as well.

great tutorial! explained very well, and it looks great id love to see more tutorials from anne

this is really cute, but it isn't scrunchie enough around the bust, so I took another pillowcase, died it the same color, and added some fabric to the sides to make it bigger, so it would make it more scrunchie. I added the leftover fabric of the other pillowcase to the botton tho make a dress!!! thank you so much I loved it happy valentines day!

Wow, thanks so much for featuring my video tut! Thanks for the feedback everyone; I'm still fairly novice at sewing so it's nice to get some encouragement as well as some ideas of how to improve. I hope you all have a happy V-Day!!

ilike this it's really cute nice corest back by the way :]

I love this tutorial. As a not-so-small- that-a-pillowcase-just- wont- cut-it I love the lacing in the back. Thank you very much.

hate the grandma-fabric, but love the top and the tutorial!!

Very cute! I have some black fabric that has hot pink polka dots on it (from wally world). I think I'll try a sweetheart neckline (no pun intended for upcoming V-Day). It should make for an awesome FOURTH Valentines for my co-hab bf and myself :) Thanks, Anne and TB.

ItS cUtE! it would look good as a shirt if you modified it a bit too!(for those young people out there ;)

When working with elastic you should always use a zigzag stitch. So sewing on the elastic with a straight stitch is just going to cause problems as soon as you put your top on (you'll rip all your stitching). Also- could use two matching pillows cut them open and sew them together to make a long piece of fabric (long sides together). Twice your over bust measurement+ a half should give you a really good ruffle (so it looks ruffled while you wear it- like claire bares undies). The rule of thumb for elastic is take your measurement and drop 2-4 inches. Elastic is very forgiving. I liked the ribbon at the bottom on the top you did though.
