Cute topReviewed by SaraJane Kramer (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/29/2018I made the Swingset Tunic for my niece for her birthday along with the Picnic shorts. It was adorable. An easy to follow pattern with great shaping for a little one. The straps were way too long for her, though. I was making it as a gift, so I didn't have her in front of me to try it on as I was sewing the top. Definitely check the strap length when you're sewing this to fit the kid.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Love the result!Reviewed by Linda Madson on 12/18/2014I had put off making this pattern as it is only in digital form and I am not into taping pattern pieces together. I was able to purchase a new paper copy on ETSY and I am so glad I did. The skirt is adorable and an easy sew. I was a little more challenged with the top. I followed Nicole's tutorial and it explained some of the mysteries. It was a fun sew.2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Swing set skirt and tunicReviewed by Carol Cowey on 08/30/2014I intend to make the skirt .i've washed the fabric for the skirt and lining.A cotton and steel cotton and pale pink lawn for the lining. I love O and S patterns and find the instructions excellent.Was this helpful?Sweet for SummerReviewed by Nicole on 12/07/2013One of the earlier patterns in the smaller size range but not to be overlooked. A highly enjoyable sew, the construction of the bodice leaves you feeling like a rock star. The skirt has a lovely fullness that sits perfectly over a babies nappy. Its also very easy to enlarge, simply extend the length of the skirt and adjust the waist accordingly. I have a step by step tute here if you are feeling nervous http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/swing-set-for-birthday-girl.html My very favourite look is to match the skirt with the bodice frill http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5291906588/in/photostream/ Perfect for a hot Antipodean Christmas.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful? -
Errata
Please note that the following errors apply only to the first printed version of this pattern. All these issues have been corrected in the digital version of this pattern.
- In the first printed version of the pattern, the chestsizing in the Finished Measurements chart contained an error. Please refer to the chart under the "details" tab for the correct measurements.
- Pattern piece numbers 2 and 4 should have a dot located 1/2" from the bottom edge and 1/2" from the back edge of the pattern.
- Finally, please note that in the first printing of the small sizes (0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m, and 18-24m), piece #4 was mislabeled as 6-12 months for the size 12-18 month and 18-24 month pattern pieces. Because the pattern pieces for each size are printed in rows, you should easily be able to determine the correct pattern piece for each size.
Determining Which Printing You Have
As errata are discovered, they are marked for correction in subsequent printings of the pattern. To determine which printing of an instruction sheet or pattern sheet you have, look at the copyright box which appears on each. Toward the bottom of the box, there is a series of numbers.
The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.
Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
