  help, help!! i am making the sailboat pants in age 4 and i am having big leg problems! the front of the pants are much narrower than the back, it’s almost like they are a totally different size.

  Hi B.T.,

Thanks for checking, @nanamar! @Robin went and found it for me yesterday, but it was printed on a quilted poly knit that sounded not very nice. Too bad! It’s a stunning floral. I was wanting to make a dress with it. xo

Some of them love routine. My son loves his bedtime routine until he turned 8. Sigh… Those were the days!!!

The floral at Harts Fabrics is not the one on the McCalls pattern – sorry!

The body measurement chart for the Building Block Dress pattern is found on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.

We have also added it to the website’s product page for the book now.

@krisherber the body measurements for the basis pattern are given on page 40 of the book in the lower left corner of the page.
krisherber replied to the topic General book posts in the forum oliver + s: building block dress 9 years ago

Are the body measurements for the basic pattern somewhere? Are they needed? I just skimmed the book and pattern and was not sure yet. But oh my the sleeve alterations instructions alone make this book a must to own! Thanks
