Pocket Pixie Kimono
Pocket Pixie overalls, tee shirt, and dress bodice
From these simple patterns, a lot of other patterns can be derived. Lengthen the tee shirt pattern, and gently flare the sides and you have a nightgown. You could crochet the skirt onto the dress bodice, instead of using fabric. The tee shirt can also be used as a dress bodice, or made slightly bigger and turned into a sweater or a coat.
Embroider your outfits before stitching up the seams, add crochet or purchased lace, beads, felt appliqués...embellish to your hearts content :-)
