Here is my tute http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878416947/, it is a great sew.
I would wonder if you sewed the shoulders seams and then checked by pulling it over your little ones head (you may need to cut the neck opening a bit bigger) if you used ribbing, like a t-shirt neck?
I am only pondering though, I have not made it….. 🙂

I might get to cut it out tonight. I saw some very beautiful wool yesterday – online! I might do mine in corduroy after all.

I have my pieces cut! But that is all for now. Sewing tonight I hope. After I cut everything I tried the size 3 I already made on one boy and its not huge, I hope they dont outgrow it in a day or something. But at least it will fit them now

Thanks!
Where is the tutorial? I would love to read it before I start!
Say more about the mod… when you say ribbing for the neck do you mean the neckband and that would make it sufficiently stretchy? I would like to avoid the buttons since it is for a nightie but was unsure about how to do it.

You will love this pattern. It is no ordinary t-shirt dress.
The shoulders have such a great shape.
I have a step by step tute for the dress but as it is for a nightie I wonder if you could cut the back bodice on a centre fold and use ribbing for the neck ?

ah, when you type it out it seems so obvious 🙂 i hadnt purchased the pattern yet but of course…
thanks!

I think your best bet would be to trace your pieces off with the extra length and lay them out to determine how much of each. And remember to add just a little as knits will shrink. Good luck!

Day one done, only just…… and ONLY because Hugo rocked Trixie.
Better late then never Tamara 🙂

I’m dragging my feet and won’t be able to start until Wednesday 🙁

Unfortunately, I don’t have any family in Australia! But thank you for thinking of me :). I know I’ll be able to find something very nice, I just like to check out what other people recommend when I’m looking at a type of fabric I haven’t worked with before. I’m looking forward to seeing what Hugo’s coat turns out like :-).

I am still cutting!!! (In between feeding and rocking the baby’s hammock)
We can be tardy together. 🙂

Nicole,
Excellent! Depending on our individual timing, I’ll either be picking your brain or sewing along with you! I just ordered some swatches from Mood of different black wool coatings. I looked online for some of the Moda wool that Janice mentioned in her schooldays coat sewalong post today, but as far as I could find out, she’s the only one…[Read more]
