I’ve looked into this before, and for the small quantities I wanted, it was a bit more than I wanted to spend to get woven labels. There are lots of great option on Etsy for small batches of printed labels, but in the end I just had my daughter’s name printed a bunch of times onto a fat quarter from Spoonflower, and I cut them out as needed.

I think for a winter baby the pinwale cord might be fine — the pants haven’t got elastic at the ankle. If you’re one of our Southern Hemisphere friends and having a summery December, then yes, perhaps just the jacket in pinwale.

So annoying when that happens! Glad it got resolved!

@enbee are you in Australia or overseas? I found a place the otherday as I am looking to change mine (they aren’t fabric) and I found a place called labelsandribbon.com.au. They look rather good.

I’m in!
I don’t use Facebook very much ( I hate that it keeps trying to work out who I am and where I live) but I’m always happy to see what people are making with these lovely patterns

And as an extreme face warmer…

That’s a very clever idea @kerrilyn !
This is how it looks as an oversized hairband:

I agree with Nicole, it’s not too slim and not too roomy. Enough ease to be comfortable without looking baggy.

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.

Hi Judith, I haven’t got my copy handy, but could you snap a pic of yours so I can see what you’re seeing? Maybe it’s in a different spot than usual?

Sounds extremely exotic! I actually might make some for our speedy trip south in a couple of weeks – even though it was only 14 degrees here today it is much colder south so they may be handy.

I will pay some attention to a shorts pattern tomorrow in order to make six pairs for this camp!

Today was perfect sewing weather – 47mm and still raining woohoo!

Thanks Tamara. I had worked it out and the second one took barely 5 mins. The third one my daughter made and wore all day like a giant hairband. Bit like those beautiful African village women wear, only it was light blue velour leftovers, so she looked like an African Elsa!

Ha! I googled snood tutorials for you @lightningmcstitch and it came up with Hijabs?! But I did find this http://momsbestnetwork.com/diy-infinity-or-circle-scarf-tutorial-aka-the-snood/. I hope this is helpful and you can make lots.
