Vintage Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited sewing project

A sleepshirt made with Kwik Sew's Sweatshirts Unlimited

What to do when your father needs a new sleepshirt and the shops have none? Sleepwear needs to be roomy and comfy - just like the sweatshirts in this book. 

So I traced off the sweatshirt pattern and lengthened it. Initially I intended to make the crew neck version but after cutting the neckband and sewing the ends together it looked so small. I tried it on and even on me it was snug, so I recut the neckline as the V-neck. 

The cotton spandex fabric was a nuisance to lay out flat and fold but did sew and overlock easily.
