The nightshirt for DH is finished.
I haven't seen it tried on yet, but he likes it.
Detail of the pocket.
The fabric is the Telio Softique rayon spandex knit. It drapes very limply and it's hard to tell if it's going to feel "heavy" on. The pattern is Simplicity 1021, with the neck facing on the outside to give a bit of color. It really wants to just flop all over on the table when it's being cut, too--maintain shape? Hah! But with patience it can be dealt with.
This fabric sews a lot better with knit iron-on interfacing on the back. It got sucked into the needle plate hole more than once, but was rescued.
This was my first experience using the longitudinal zigzag the sewing machine calls "stretch stitch" in a project. It is very hard to rip out if the line bobbles. It does do a reasonable imitation of straight stitching for top stitching as on the neck facing.
