The Larger size Sketchbook shirt+shorts in paper

You are right, you do know the answer.
It won’t go over her head.

I have topstitched that seam in a #4 stitch length and then had it be too firm.

Sorry to confirm what you knew.

A good recommendation for velcro placement.

@caraskates cord can look especially lush if you reverse the nap a la @liesl 🙂

Hi @caraskates, I think they will look adorable.

I have a tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/short-cut-sailboat-pants.html if you would like a look at the construction (apologies for the dated graphics, I was in my colour phase)

These are a great trouser to size up, which will give you that longer leg you are…[Read more]

Woo hoo, it is not a blazer but may satisfy those yearning for one….

I remember that style jacket being very popular in the 70’s.They were often fastened with a frog closure.
Would that work for you?

Or you could finish the edge and then baste an open end zipper under the front edge and then topstitch in place?

I hope that is some help?

@housecall, if I may be so bold, here is a tute http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/the-garden-party-tutorial-part-one.html

Unless your ribbon is very firm I would be inclined to sew it on top rather then replace the yoke and waistband.

*Love* this pattern, have fun.

My pleasure, @ellenmcm was the hero here!
Happy sewing.

Yay @angelwingneedlearts, I am so pleased.
Three inches would be no problem at all, I added that to a swish little black hanky linen version.

I have added length to the Portfolio with is sort of the ‘prequel’ to this lovely pattern.

I added it to the bottom, continuing the slight ‘A’ line effect.

Don’t forget to add to all the panels. 🙂

I hope that helps.

This post is about the pleats but possibly the photos may help?

I have had the best idea, an O+S Moto jacket!
How cool would that be?

It would totally work for a baby (from an old leather jacket) to a pre-teen.
Totally unisex.

Please Liesl, puh-lease!

@ginny3wI am so glad you got the right advice, I can’t wait to see what you do.

Thank you @liesl

Oh Sarvi, I am so sorry.

You did just the right thing, no need to scare such a young child. A ‘facility’ issue is the perfect reason.

Huge hugs.

Thank you @justsewit and @lightningmcstitch, I thought it was the piano?

I love school hols. No packed lunches but the food! Three loaves of bread yesterday and one child wasn’t home!
