I finished Jed’s polo and should be making him one more garment… but as Hugo’s 18th is looming I have queue jumped the sewing rota and cut him another pair of Jedediah trousers and an Aime Comme Marie Mister shirt and me a pair of Ginger jeans and an Aime Comme Marie Madame shirt for me!

I rarely have this much cut waiting to be sewn, it feels…[Read more]

I have made several and the lining doesn’t show.
Perhaps roll your seam slightly inwards when pressing to be on the safe side.

Susan, I have some piccies of the yoke here as well as a nifty treatment for the collar to get it to sit like a two piece.

The Jedediah are seriously nice Rebecca http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/jedediah-baby.html

I also like this KwikSew pattern http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/jeans-for-hugo.html

I love this shirt http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/shirt.html

Thank you Heidi, you are kind.

I considered the Negroni, but it’s unfortunately a camp shirt collar; I need something more formal.

I’ll check out the jeans!!

What about Colette/Walden Negroni?

And I think Nicole has made amazing jeans from Thread Theory’s Jedediah http://threadtheory.ca/products/jedediah

Excellent idea! And I will practice on scraps before I do the pjs.

go smaller rather than bigger. They will loosen over time, especially where the pointed part of the crescent goes. Since they are pajamas, it’s an easy fix to re-close/tighten them with a few stitches when this happens…

I wonder if this might be more of what you’re looking for. 🙂

I’d love a women’s version of the Sketchbook shirt and the Parachute Polo, with the collar the right size (not two inches too long). I’d like both short and long sleeves.

Haha, that’s so cute! Todd & Co, or the Big 4 version, Tedette…

Thanks, I looked at the link, but it seems to still ease it in. I need to figure out how to get it for a super large bust, and maybe add a dart?

I glad to hear it fit well other than length Susan, it’s my second favorite O+S pattern and my most used O+S pattern. (Well most used pattern of mine that I own too!) My two middle boys just requested some new ones for fall. Sadly my oldest out grew this pattern a few years ago. I would love for Lisel to make a men’s size one.
