Finished Imogen’s dress but I don’t know why the muslin bodice fit well yet the real one was slightly too big. Nevermind she may only wear it once.

I managed to find some grey trousers for Noah but as we mostly have problems with rtw I have to rearrange a button so the poor boy doesn’t feel strangled when he sits down. I also found a white shirt…[Read more]

Where would you prefer the length to be on her Nicole? I was thinking the same actually regarding the pattern. It starts at the six month size doesn’t it though? Are you thinking make now to grow into?

I would guess (strictly) it would fall around mid calf if this is any help but then I am in the same boat and have never made the tiny sizes and I…[Read more]

Thankyou my dear sweet forum friends!

My ankles have decided they want to be balloons so yes, I will be taking care of myself. The last thing I want is to spend my last weeks of pregnancy in hospital due to high blood pressure!

Nicole I hope Jed was ok. How extensive was the damage?

Our header is heading for the scrap heap and we have quickly…[Read more]

Agree re the after pants – they are the slimmest IMO – I love the sandbox pants but they are wide-ish at the bottoms

(Ahhh, but just realised you only have the larger size range for the after school….I think that you would be best making a 3/4T if she is long and skinny)

No help but I can’t wait to see it.

I love the fit of the After School pants. They are a nice slim fit although I do have to lengthen them a bit for my long skinny boys. The Sandbox are also a great fit and I’ve never had to lengthen them.
Good luck!

Both the Sandbox and Afterschool have nice long legs.

I would imagine the five would be okay. I’ve found, however, that many nightgown patterns have wide necklines and shoulders and slip off my girls’ shoulders if I’m not careful in sizing.

I’ve made them all except the Nature Walk and for my kids who are slim but average height I have found the After School to be the slimmest. They’re easy to pull on for little ones, too.

I still have to size my oldest daughter down in width on everything, she’s 11. It’s not difficult, I just have focus carefully when I trace my pattern pieces…[Read more]

I cut up an old skirt of mine
After drinking half a bottle of wine
I thought I’d cut straight
Oh my but wait
Should stripes go across the grain line?

New one,

My scissors are missing again!

I think a 5 with length will be just fine for a night dress.
It will have fullness though, so I not sure how it fits into safety in regard to fire hazards.

I was just about to ask if anyone was caught in this crazy upstate NY weather. Glad to hear that you’re home safe! The photos are astounding. Stay warm!
