Nope, no notches on mine either. Since the facing piece should extend half an inch past the folded edge, if it would be helpful, you can mark a notch half an inch from the edge as shown in the illustration. Would you like a photo showing how to do that to help you get back on track, since the issue wasn’t with folding, tracing, marking, or…[Read more]

I too would say check the button placket fold. Also if you have enough fabric, or if you have muslin, recut the facing in the correct size and one size up. See if either fits and cut that in your fabric????

Nope mine do doesn’t have the notches either! I have only made it once back in Jan. But looking at the diagram and how I finished that part of the dress I think your pattern piece is fine. It should extend 1/2″ over the back, but that’s over the folded up button placket you created in the very first step of the instructions. I think you may…[Read more]

So then you don’t have any notches, either?

Ok, I had a peek, and I can think of 3 spots where something might have happened:
1. the pintucks: I made a mockup in paper and even in paper, I had a bit of trouble getting everything perfectly traced, transferred, and folded
2. the fold of the back edge — should be 1.5 inches total
3. tracing the back piece — the line for the 2T is close to…[Read more]

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.
