  Step 1

  to make the pattern for the back of the yoke, fold the fabric. place your t shirt with sleeves tucked in half on and cut around to just under the armhole, leaving a seam allowance.

• 

  Step 2

  remove the t shirt and cut the bottom in a straight line, unfold and it should look like this.

• 

  Step 3

  fold the fabric again and place your back yoke on near the edge of the neck. cut around this, then cut in half for the two front pieces.

• 

  Step 4

  sew together at the shoulders and sides.

• 

  Step 5

  for the frilly cap sleeves, cut a semi circle as tall as you want your sleeve to be and hem. I used a decorative scallop stitch to finish the edge.

• 

  Step 6

  gather and sew into your arm hole.

• 

  Step 7

  topstitch the arm seams back for a clean edge.

• 

  Step 8

  cut a piece of fabric 2.5 times the width of the bottom of the yoke bodice, as long as you want the skirt part to be. gather to the yoke.

• 

  Step 9

  decide what width you want the ties to be, double it, add seam allowances. cut a long rectangle this width, fold the edges in and stitch flat.

• 

  Step 10

  hem the entire edge of the peignoir, inserting the ties into the hem around where yoke meets skirt.

• 

  Step 11

  finally, decorate your front yoke to your own personal taste. I added old buttons, scrap fabric and ribbon bows for a cute look with bold splashes of red.

I have to say this looks lovely! I just have a thin lace fabric I had no ideas what to do. I'll try this, I guess

it takes practice, but the best way to be confident in having a different style is to love what you're wearing! 3 years ago it was hard to wear my creations out of the house and hear the insults, but today I started my second year of college in an outfit I love and got loads of compliments! confidence is key, always hold your head high and walk with definite strides. that way you can't lose
