We’re going to use one of our favorite finds from the French flea markets as the base for this SlowStitching project-authentic antique convent nighties. 
Often made by the nuns from linen and hemp during the 18th, 19th and early 20th century these nighties are simple and rustic with varying charming details such as scalloped edges along the neckline or perhaps an elegant monogram either in the center or over the heart. 
We’ll take this beautifully simple blank canvas and embellish it with fabric, stitching, and other notions to create a unique wearable piece. 
Choose from either a “warm” or “cool” colourway for your kit which includes: 
• authentic convent nightie sourced from France. 
• pack of antique and vintage French fabrics with coordinating pieces of Liberty tana lawn. 
• charms, buttons and other embellishments. 
Please note the nighties are vintage and purchased from French markets, brocantes and dealers; therefore, students can not specify a particular size. You are welcome to swap with classmates but they are for display and not wardrobe. As I used to say to the kids when they were little,  “ you get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit. “ :) I can guarantee they will all be tres incroyable!
