Also have a pattern-search question: what are you ladies’ favorite men’s button down shirt pattern? I have some gorgeous redwood herringbone RK Shetland flannel I want to sew up for Ben. It’s not something I’ll get around to before this fall, but am wanting some pattern recommendations. Thanks!

Hmmm, I still can’t see them. I shot you an e-mail.

When I click to view ‘all forums’ I can only see to the Forest Path, but when I use the drop down menu I can see them all. I wasn’t sure if anyone else noticed this.

You’re welcome Fiona!Thanks for your lovely comment.

I have been trying to answer but had locked myself out!

I would try laying one sleeve over the other.

I found you on FB, but didn’t see any pics of the outfit. Maybe check your privacy settings on those photos and make them public? Then if you’d like I can grab them from there and bring them here for you.

Fiona, I have found the Playtime to be pretty on par with my other oft-used patterns – Music Box, Bubble Dress, Class Picnic, etc. So for my slender girls I size down the width considerably – the last ones I made (woven) were a size 2 with length but that was a while ago. I’d say I go down two sizes or so from RTW but that is the case with the…[Read more]

I read Nicole’s tute and she measured Tilly’s arms to make them. I was wondering how the music class sleeve bottom would look with it. I was planning to use the garden party sleeve cap just to save fitting headaches.

I’m afraid I can’t help with the playtime question Fiona, as I haven’t made that one (or have I?) – it would have had serious alterations if I did and I know I used a knit and a woven for one pattern but as to whether it was that particular one, I simply cannot remember.
