The hem tucks I was referring to are also called growth tucks. I use that method every chance and a tute is here:https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5163707322010726966#editor/target=post;postID=5881343318468516870;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=100;src=postname

My daughter’s most worn items by far have been the first three O+S items I made: three Class Picnic Blouses (https://www.flickr.com/photos/130325089@N02/16191293655/). They were also the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pieces of clothing I’d ever sewn so was really thrilled that she grabbed them every time she spotted them.

Thanks! Knowing the size and her is helpful. Such a sweet photo, too!

Tucks on the garden party dress. That bodice is perfect for that. Some awesome box pleats or narrow pintucks.

I think for the preteen girls it is a really flattering top because it can disguise new “growth” that they might not yet be comfortable with.

Gigi’s most worn was a pair of afterschool pants. Teal baby corduroy embroidered with hot pink roses.

Least worn/loved? Book report dress.

My least worn, but personal favorite, was Abby’s Ice Cream top: https://www.flickr.com/photos/52761227@N04/8068829007/in/album-72157631200589734/
She wore it less than 5 times.
She had two hopscotch tops she wore holes in to, one that she would wear multiple times a week.

Jack wears his sandbox pant/shorts multiple times a week. I told him…[Read more]

Lots of great reading and some great tips.
After quizzing my chiblings we worked out the most worn was this https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5444046339/in/set-72157625138776927
A Sailboat top in navy/white cotton lycra. Liddy is now wearing it after it was passed on to the Twins.
Nicole replied to the topic 2+2 skort in the forum oliver + s: 2 + 2 10 years ago

*From memory* you will need to add maybe an inch or so to the top of the shorts?
I would add extra, sort of pin (with safety pins) the skirt and shorts together, and try them on the child.

If you take out the placket, make sure the skirt will be wide enough to pull up.

I, very recently, added the Tea Party bloomers to the Hopscotch skirt, it…[Read more]

I found the Sunday Brunch a fait-to-generous fit. I would not have layered it over a jumper (sweater) but my girls always got a good amount of wear from their corresponding size.

The added bonus is it looks really cute a little fitted.

I hope that helps.

I have a pair of Layette pants and a bodysuit pinned to some Lisette lisette ready to make into pyjamas for baby Chloe. Both are size 0-3 months.

@FrancesSuzanne that sounds very exciting – proof that great minds are very much thinking alike here!

So how are you going to do them? Twin needle? Folded? Please not corded (I don’t know if this will work with a crosshatch). I haven’t done the crosshatch either but I am intrigued and can’t wait for all to be revealed.
Frances Suzanne replied to the topic Using Tucks in O+S Patterns in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years ago

@Deb Yes, tucks on the lullaby layette would be super sweet!! Don’t you want to do the math for US?? @withloveheidi Growth tucks = GENIUS!!! Must remember that… @justsewit Sewing crosshatched tucks are in our near future :). We’ve not attempted these yet, so wish us luck!
