Also I use jam snaps to secure the vest into the jacket.

But I see people on etsy selling finished garments? Can you sell stuff made from these patterns?

I am a budget sewer and can’t always afford new fabric. I thought someone might be interested in this. I bought a men’s jacket (50% wool / 50% lambs wool) and a large pink top sheet from Salvation Army. Cost $4. I had everything else in my stash except for the toggle closures.

I currently use thread theory but would love some other options. Some of theirs are kind of slim fitting.

They are really nice looking and I wanted to get some labels made to personalize my kids clothes.

I can’t figure out how to private message people or if that is even an option in this forum.

I have made these shorts and the pull too low in the back. Otherwise fit good. Any suggestions? I’m about to make another pair that I just adjusted and added length to the top of the waist areas. Just wondered if anyone else sews for a cloth baby and had any suggestions.

I ended up finding some cheap wool so I’m going that route. But at some point I still think I want to do a raincoat version of this.

Or is there another dress that would be better do you think?

Thanks
