I was going over and filling out the new checklist this weekend (in which I discovered that I have 35 O+S patterns!!! including paper patterns of all the first patterns, Spring and Fall 2008, many in both sizes!) and found that there is not a separate Playtime Leggings listed. No big deal to me, but thought the creator might like to know.

Thank you so much Kim, you are clever, I would have NO idea!

I’m sorry I missed that and I’ll fix it.

Bookwyrm, that’s my understanding that only the first 4 plus the new layette set cater for under 6m. Everything else starts at 6m size.

The lullaby layette only goes to a size 2. The first few patterns only went to size five I think and then a few at size 8 and then the later ones to size 12.

The checklist doesn’t seem quite accurate to me. It seems to list Lullaby Layette as starting at 6 months and going to size 12. Is the rest accurate?
So the only patterns for children under 6 months are Lullaby Layette and the four from Spring 2008?

Thank you @melelizza for the tip. Yes was thinking of using Hide-&-Seek for the button placket and just have buttons on the bodice as per your suggestion. I’m using embroidered organdy layered with a plain organdy and lined with cotton. For the bodice I plan to use cotton as my daughter is a bit sensitive with non-cotton fabric. Would love to see…[Read more]

Thank you Sarvi and Liesl. I´ll keep my eyes open. Esprit has some styles that are somewhat similar right now… even a sleeveless one. I am happy because usually I need to buy bigger sizes in order for my chest to fit in… I´ll work on it and let you know.

I can’t seem to find it now, but there was a cute one that cut the front stitching line on the fold to make a basic blouse with jewel neckline/no placket. Can’t remember if it was Instagram or maybe Pinterest?

How fun, glad it worked out — I am still trying to find the time to make this one. I’d also love to know what kinds of different spins people are putting on it. I did a quicky flickr search and found these:

You will need to draft a button placket. You could use one of the patterns with buttons for a guide. I’d be inclined to just button the bodice and not all the way down, but it’s really all a matter of preference. I just finished a Communion dress for one of my sons classmates. What are you making it out of? I’ve made it for Communn in cotton…[Read more]

Adorable doll.

Adorable doll.

Thank you! She’s a screen printed doll that I designed about 15 years ago. I planned to make them to sell, but it’s not worth the time involved. One day when I have time I may turn them into a kit. For now, I make them for gifts, and Audrey has my prototype as her best friend. Harriet goes EVERYWHERE with us 🙂
