10 Free Women's Nightgown Patterns - Easy Sewing Patterns

Choose from these free women’s nightgown sewing patterns to create a cozy nightgown for yourself.

There is nothing more comfortable than a nightgown. No matter what time of year, you can sleep in comfort. I remember wearing my father’s old t-shirts as nightgowns as a child and just wishing I could wear them all day. One of my favorite nightgowns now is basically the same idea. While some of the nightgowns below can be either sundresses or nighties, I tried to pick patterns that looked most like something you would find total comfort in when hitting the pillow.
