Hygge Nightgown 

Hygge ("hoo-gah") is the Danish word encompassing the qualities of coziness and comfort, a feeling of contentment, and well-being, and it's the pintucked Sew Anastasia nightgown encompassing all those same things. The base pattern is knee length, but it includes pieces and super simple directions to make it any length you want.

Nightgowns are not only practical for a good night's sleep but can also be a stylish and cozy addition to your wardrobe. Whether you are a seasoned seamstress or just starting out, this project is perfect for honing your sewing skills and creating something lovely for yourself or a loved one.

This design is simple with lots of ease and has fine pintucks down the front for a beautiful detail. The neckline is bias faced and the full sleeves are cuffed with elastic or you can choose to go short sleeved.

When making a nightgown, fabric choice is key. Soft and breathable fabrics like plain cotton, soft satin in poly or silk, cotton flannel for a cozy option or for a high end choice try silk charmeuse. This would make a comfortable and luxurious garment. Consider the season and personal preference when selecting your fabric. For instance, a lightweight cotton is ideal for summer nights, while a silky satin may be more suitable for a special occasion and cotton flannel for winter wear. Take the time to feel the fabric, drape it over your hand, and envision how it will fall when worn to ensure the best outcome for your nightgown.

To add a personal touch to your nightgown, consider embellishments like lace, ribbons, or embroidery. These details can elevate a simple design and make your nightgown truly unique. Experiment with different trims and techniques to add flair to the neckline, sleeves, or hem of the garment. Remember, the beauty of creating your own nightgown lies in the ability to customize it to your liking, so don't be afraid to get creative and make it your own!

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
