Try the help forum on Flickr. I have had good success there.

By all means, sew it with fleece if that is what you have, but it is such a lovely sew and fleece doesn’t really wear that well….
One thing to be aware of is that it is a pattern for a woven, not a knit so you will have to be careful for the pieces stretching out of shape.
I wonder if pressing a strip of soft interfacing to the seam allowance…[Read more]

If you don’t want to go the vintage route (sizing issues, etc.) I second the comment about the School Photo Dress. People often call that the Jackie O. dress. A few easy modifications will get you exactly what you want.

Definitely vintage sewing patterns on eBay
I may speak from experience …..

It sounds as if they need a farm stay. 🙂

Finished the jeans and they fit really well, I am so pleased.
I ended up taking 20cms from the leg and added a few cm’s to the waist but they look really good and he likes them.
Win!

Next up a KwikSew polo top and some knit shorts for Jed.

Awesome!

@lilypadmontana, my pleasure. Sarvi & Colette sent me some divine hailspot muslin and I made one for Trixie. She is still wearing the blouse and bottoms but grew out of the bodysuit very quickly.

Great ideas Kerrilyn, lots of food, sleep and exercise works for my only boy. He had broken two (yes two) very expensive European irons throwing his footy in the house.

I am very glad to live on a farm, he was encouraged to start hiking and camping from a very young age 🙂

Oh, good grief Nicole! Look at how gorgeous the two of you looked on that day! Timeless beauties–both of you. I wouldn’t have been able to tell if that photo could have been taken 150 years ago or just last year.

Congratulations!
