I have made it twice Florabell.
The only concern I would have is the bulk of the seams. If you use a fine fabric and grade the seam properly if would be fine. As the bodice is fully lined, I don’t know that you would actually need to.
We have a few girls that love their French seam finishes. I am sure they would have something helpful to add.

I cut a PlayTime dress size 2T with the length of a size 4 from 1 metre of Kokka linen. AND it was a directional print.
*BUT I had to cut the pockets from another fabric.*

I made a suede version for Tildy and used brass drizabone studs.
I washed that quite a few times in the machine (on a wool wash with shampoo and conditioner) and the suede is still in good repair.

Excited — just ordered blue and metallic (they look like the best match for grey) snaps. So many babies to sew for, can’t wait to get my groove on once I know all the preferences from the moms.

My husband made a valid point, just hitch ’em up when they are wearing disposables.

I am sorry Alison, I worded that badly.
I do add length to the top of the waist band, often I size up. So, yes, I add length.
I am sorry, that was all me!

When I make bottoms bigger I add to the waistband and the centre back seam.
Could you work backwards from there?
Sorry not to be more help.

Match the curved edges at the bottom of the pocket. Leave a opening to turn the pocket. The longer pocket piece will fold over towards the back of the pocket.
Does that help?

You are so right. I figured it was me as I am a computer moron.
I end up just scrolling through pages looking for posts.

I am wondering what could be done to improve the search function? I just searched for the Fabric Scrooge thread using the forum search box – I typed it in several different ways, in quotation marks, without quotation marks, and it wouldn’t come up at all. I was able to find it easily by typing “Oliver+S fabric scrooge” into Google so it’s not…[Read more]

I had 21 inches of 56″ wide twill, out of which I was determined to make a pair of Field Trip cargos for my son. I managed to cut all the 18-24 month pieces out of that fabric except for the cargo pockets themselves (and the waistband facing which I would have used a lighter fabric for anyway). He’s 1 – I figure he doesn’t need the cargo pockets anyway.

Thank you Todd.
I really don’t like snaps, I usually do buttons but if they are Liesl endorsed…..
