That sounds perfect! You can use the folded placket instead of the set-in placket to eliminate extra cutting and sewing. You might want to confirm the sleeve length with the cuff as well, and be sure the staystitch the neckline so it doesn’t distort while you’re trying it on. Good for you, making a muslin! It’s well worth it in the long run.

Hi,
I’m making a muslin, first time, I’d appreciate some feedback on whether this is sufficient: I’m thinking to cut out and baste together the shirt front/back/yoke at shoulder seams, put in the front dart, and set in the sleeve. Does that sound about right? I don’t have to make the front plackets necessarily, correct? I was thinking of folding…[Read more] -

Thanks for the reply!
I am not on Facebook, so any prompts you could do would be so great. I’m in the US, in Portland, OR.
Thanks again!

Are you on the Facebook group? I just saw that someone was planning to sell their patterns. Try there, or if you don’t do FB then I can prompt the seller to look here.
What country are you in? I know a few websites that have older paper stock…. -

Hi!
I love the Playdate Dress so much, and my older daughter just aged out of the smaller size. If anyone has a larger size Playdate Dress paper pattern for sale or trade, would you get in touch? I’ll buy the digital pattern if I must, but I actually like tracing the paper pattern so much more than using a PDF.
Thanks!

Once the facing is attached to the lining then that whole piece is the lining going forward.
It’s ages since I made it, but there’s no tricks, it will make sense once you’re doing it. -

Just purchased the pattern, having difficulty understanding instructions for back neck facing. Once it is attached to lining instructions are unclear as to how and when it attaches to the main body of the cape.

If you should happen to find links to pages that are not found, would you please be so kind as to post them here so we can get them fixed?
Thanks for your…[Read more]
