After taking my niece the side opening parachute pants and showing her how they work, she requested some “night pants”, pajama pants, as “I will have to wear my casts all the time”. She requested them by tomorrow as that’s when she getting her casts. So I will put aside her birthday dress and make more pants 🙂

Today I traced off the carousel dress and hide and seek patterns in 6-12 month size. I plan to do some assembly line sewing.

I’ve made a few, but generally in fleece so it has some stretch. I would size up, especially as you say your kids have large heads 🙂

Oh yes please a vneck tutorial. I like vnecks but most store bought are too deep a vee. Would love to be able to modify my Metro pattern.

I spent some time putting together the parachute pattern this morning while the children kept Chloe company. The pants look really long! I love the new format of the little dotted lines indicating where to cut and also the indication of which pages to print for the view you need. Ts a time and paper saving idea that’s genius!
