I’ve been looking for notchers like that but have had trouble finding any in my part of the world. Maybe it’s an issue of translation – I have no idea what they would be called in Swedish.

Google tailors knots Sonja
I used them on hugos recent coat and they are fab

I will see if I can find a picture for you.

Absolutely Rebecca.
I would lay the bodice with the skirt and cut as one piece.
I have a tute here if you would like an idea of how it goes together.

I agree Rebecca
My 6 year old measures a 2!

They do and they are Linda

Hugo managed to get some rice cereal into trixie so she slept all evening instead of me feeding all evening
I got the trousers and skirt made and a Continental blouse made up to setting in the sleeves

I prewashed some lawn to make another trial run for husbands Liberty shirt. He has lost weight so the last one is too baggy now

Basting is your friend Debby 🙂

I do Jess.
I picked them up on eBay
They are the best tool

Fit for real people is another good one
