    To be super fair, those comfy holey t-shirts were once mine. But I don’t think I have the stupidity to try and reclaim them. Besides, she looks better in them than I do! 🥰

    Oh save your knees and get a cardboard folding cutting matt. I bet you can find one at a vintage store. That way you can place it on a bed to cut and only ruin your back instead of your knees. That turned out really cute. Wish we could still just walk into JoAnn's and find fabric like that for this type project. I want to make one of those vintage style nightgowns where you have a tie at the waist that goes through the side seams to exclude the back and you get that elegant whoosh of fabric in the back. One of these days. Now I've got to be on the lookout for this pattern. Thank you for going to all the trouble of filming this!

      Also, I have several patterns that came from a costumer for plays, etc. They are cut in odd places, torn, etc, in general poor condition. They arrived in manilla envelopes with the pattern envelope cut in half and taped to the front. Should these pattern pieces be taped with archival tape to stabilize them for future use?

    As a fellow mom who has way too many things to do and not enough hours, I appreciate the acknowledgement that if you could, you would have been able to do it in one day but instead it took more. I made a similar nightgown a year (or two? What is time??). And while it's comfy (and chaotic because I used a bunch of scrap quilting cottons) I don't wear it frequently because I'm team old tshirt too.

    Make a 4X8’ ft. Cutting table that you can cut in two parts so you can attach them to each other and to the wall with hinges. Even the legs r attached with hinges and bend attached to the table that are attached hinges on the wall. It sounds way more complicated then it is. They make them a-lot for tiny homes. They even have company in Japan & Korea that make furniture that transform . Search on TH-cam
