Upon closer inspection (and another cup of coffee!) I’m going to do the hinge thing at between the two notches, which I think will give more room in the seat, while keeping everything else working.

I’ll post them on Flickr when I get them done.
Thanks for all your help!

Thanks, Lightning! That is a helpful and well-diagrammed tutorial.

So, the after school pants have separate pattern pieces for the back, front and side panels. I am thinking it might simply be a matter of increasing the back inseam. I’m not sure how to tell if I should increase from the top, middle or crotch. Or maybe it won’t make that much…[Read more]

It’s really only been with customers from Australia that we have heard about issues with printing the larger format sizes. And I haven’t yet been able to figure out exactly what the issue is. My current assumption is that it’s not a hardware-related issue but it’s due to the paper that print shops stock in Australia–or with the inability of…[Read more]

I am up to handstitching the lining down on two of the three bubble dresses. I have cut another pair of lullaby layette pyjamas and plan to work on them tomorrow before returning to the third bubble.

I read this post just today and I think it might help. It is mostly referring to increasing room in the front crotch but as they say at the end, if you do the same split and spread to the back that works for the back.
I imagine if you create a bit more room at the back there’ll be less strain and pulling down with squatting and bending.
But gee…[Read more]

A0 is excellent news! My husband too will appreciate not having to convert them for me!

Can’t wait to see Hugo’s coat!

I vote for the eyelet as well!

The relevant set isn’t “most countries” though, it’s “most customers” — thus, since it sounds like there was a proven customer base in AUS, it made sense to go to the extra trouble. Though at this point I’m probably backseat-driving somebody else’s business decisions, which I imagine could be annoying — sorry, I’ll zip it!

Either way, I know a…[Read more]

This is a pic in case it helps.

Thank you so much for listening! Being able to print A0 will be fantastic!

Lots of options!
1. Bias binding, either over the edge so it shows or folded under to make a hem facing
2. add the honeycomb pink Ruffle (generally my favorite 🙂
3. Add lace, I would add eyelet lace as it’s already on the collar.
4. do a rolled hem
5. Draft a hem facing
6. Make a skirt to go underneath, maybe a lazy days skirt. add a ruffle…[Read more]

Make a ruffle out of eyelet to match the collar or leave it short and do a longer eyelet underskirt.
