How fun!
I’ve been tracing line drawings in patterns for years as a way of sketching out my ideas first. Eventually, I got good enough to draw them more freehand, but I still rely on tracing a lot of the time. I like the DOING stuff and completely lack your patience for extracting and PDF making – so thank you for sharing!

You are amazing, Lotta! I am so excited to print these off.

I don’t think the smaller sizes have the darts, I think just 2T, maybe 3T have them. I have a paper copy and it’s in with a sleeping baby or I would check for sure.

Back to work on the shorts this morning!

Back to work on the shorts this morning!

Thank you! Even though I have made my own version I will enjoy this one too 🙂

I found an hour to start Tildy’s velvet Field Trip cargoes. I cut the size 18-24 mnth with the length of the 5. The back leg is great but I have ended up with a too short front leg, I must have not got my measurements quite right. It is not a biggie though, I can add a wee panel to the bottom front leg as it will work with the existing panels.

Lotta, thank you so very much. You are clever.

What a wonderful idea Sherry! I find my girls often have trouble visualising what a dress will look like in fabric. Cutting out inside the lines would definitely help! I may pick you up on that.

Lotta, what a thoughtful thing to do, thank you. I have downloaded and will print them all onto card stock, then cut out inside the lines to place over fabric to help granddaughter imagine what each outfit will look like finished.

Also going to give her mum a copy so they can work out next seasons wardrobe. Great way to build a wardrobe and…[Read more]

This is soooo great Lotta! I’m downloading as we speak. Thank you so much xx

@Yirg You might be able to buy a copy from a store, for exmple in the UK the smaller size in paper is available here http://www.eternalmaker.com/fairy-tale-dress-pattern-oliver-s

I’ll definitely be buying it in the smaller size in paper now I know that it’s not being reprinted!

Thank you Todd, that makes perfect sense.

The Fairy Tale dress, in the small size range only, has indeed gone out of print. It’s still available as a digital pattern. As is always the case, when we near the end of our stock on an item we evaluate sales and determine if there is justification to do a reprint. This pattern wasn’t selling at the level required to maintain it in paper.

I don’t believe it’s out of print? Here’s the link to the paper version: http://oliverands.com/oliver-and-s-patterns-dresses/OLV-OS036FT.html
