And agree with Cat75 – good point about crotch length
Nicole replied to the topic How to adjust sizes in the forum sewing with liesl + co and oliver + s 10 years ago

I’m like Masha…I prefer cotton/lycra knits when I sew for the kids. It’s relatively easy to work with and seems to hold up well. My personal rule of thumb is to use 8-10 oz. weight fabrics for tops and dresses. 🙂

@dubhels2003, do you have a link?
I wonder if it is the place mine comes from. I buy ‘seconds’ for the children’s sewing and the flaws are negligible.

Thank you!

Cheri, I would do as the other girls have suggested
I blogged the dress here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/garden-party-dress-part-two.html if you wish to see the step the lovely ladies are referring too.
Nicole replied to the topic The Limerick Thread in the forum off topic 10 years ago

It’s going to be magic
But, bother! The Postman is late!

Do I make first the polo or pants?
