Pattern is OFB Embroidered Raglan Daygowns.
I was already thinking about a Sew-Along when someone suggested I do a Daygown Sew-Along.
What fun that would be!!! I love Daygowns.
I have chosen Embroidered Raglan Daygown View 2. I have done a lesson on Priscilla's Layette Daygown (sorry to say it is now out of print) and this is also a Raglan sleeve but it buttons in the back.
.
This is the View 2 sleeve. It is 3/4 length.
It has pleats instead of gathers but you can easily do gathers.

The sleeve makes it easy for the Beginner but it also has the new techniques of adding entredeux and lace edging to the neck and sleeve. I will also show you how to do the embroidery on this view.

I plan to make and teach it by hand. I am also happy to include those of you who prefer the sewing machine. So, either way follow along and make yours by hand or machine. Both will be easy!
The techniques are so similar.

I plan to have one lesson a week, every Friday, beginning July 30. We will be a Sewing Group! I will serve you virtual Tea and Scones! The lessons will be easy for everyone to complete and I hope will inspire and encourage you to finish your daygown.
