Aw, thanks @motherof5 and @vothgirl, I am blushing. It is such a great pattern, I want a closet full of them.

I love Thread Theory Tiina.

Ok, I went back on my word and cut an apple picking dress anyway. I decided on the pink check winter twill for it – no one will believe me if I say “it” decided it had to be chosen! Anyway, I am looking forward to finishing it as I belive the fabric choice was perfect – screams classic little girl dress! I have only made this dress once before and…[Read more]

On doing some simple construction and getting a little sewing time in, I got started on a tiny apple picking dress. The big problem is that I keep for some unknown reason sewing the skinny placket backwards so the folded edge is the wrong way! I have two skinny plackets, both backward!

@Reeni I can’t seem them either. 🙁

Nicole, I sew men’s patterns from old Finnish sewing magazines and I have also sewn Thread Theory patterns for my husband.

@Reeni, I am sorry, my jolly computer won’t show your photos.

She looks incredible! Totally should put her on the pattern cover – love the combo of fabrics she used. Can’t wait to get this pattern for myself!

How radiant does Britters look?

Modelling her Gallery tunic.

Easter 2011… I think this was before I stated making o+S dresses for Easter. His might be a Sketchbook shirt?
sorry no good pictures! Vid instead. Her own sketched mods to Fairytale, and his Field trip raglan.
For good measure, her first day of Pre-K, in a playdate dress.

On other patterns, I sort of eye ball it and see where it works best (i.e. won’t alter the shape too much).

I would love to know if there is a rule of thumb. The last few vintage patterns I have sewn tell you to ‘lengthen above this line’.

That Simplicity looks spot on! Thanks!

And I didn’t even think of pjs….I do have a pj pattern somewhere. Will check the leg width–that’s not something I am comfortable altering much.

I just made this skirt. Not sure about the pants, but the skirt was pretty straight forward.

I don’t have a pattern number for you but I have had success making casual pull on trousers from pj’s bottoms patterns.
You will need to add pockets and there looks to be a boot leg type thing going on, so maybe a teen style range?

Hm, maybe a BHA tutorial is in order for those needing to make big head adjustments! Any volunteers to write one? Meleliza, your last guest post was so detailed and useful, want to tackle this?

Over thirty thousand happy photos in the flickr group, so it seems the brand as a whole is not designed for unusually small heads.
