Bought this top pop poplin fabric at Spotlight for $2.99 per metre, I bought 2 metres in total to help me practice my sewing projects. So I decided to try the night dress pattern again, this time, I used some "super seams" in this sewing projects. All my seams are sewn so raw edges are hidden away, and I did not do any zig-zag stitches as before. Hiding the seams are preferred way for me, as they look neater.
For ideas on super seams, I followed the tutorials found on this blog:

Night dress using poplin fabric |
The flower embellishment was made using scrap fabric and some buttons I have in my stash.
Pyjamas pant for summer |
The pyjamas pant pattern was taken from Emma Hardy's "making children's clothes". It is sized for 2T-3T. Pattern #16 used.
Fabric used was pink top pop poplin 79" x 40" (200cm x 100cm)
No edging or contrast fabric used.
Elastic 6mm (1/4") width x 20" length
Pink coloured thread
Instead of overlocking or doing zig-zag stitches to prevent fabric frays, I did super seams on the sides and also the crotch area for the pants.
