Hi Sharon

I was just looking at the body measurement chart and if your son has a 25″ waist then he would fit into a size 12. I have only made the smaller sizes and for a little girl (of course because my son doesn’t ask for creative ideas for costumes). They are true to size I think and so if you were to pick between an 8 or 10 I would certainly…[Read more]

@reeni Thanks. My daughter drew me a picture of what she wanted and the Metro will fit the bill for what she wants. However, you could do the raglan and I actually (when I was looking for inspriation) looked at the carousel dress design lines to see how this would work. I am seeing cold shoulder tops that are fitted t shirts and also strappy tops…[Read more]

Is this spam @todd ?

Tara @4dfamily98 is he into small adult sizing?
Thread Theory (www.threadtheory.ca) make men’s patterns that tend to be a slimmer “athletic” fit and would probably suit a teenager. They are beautiful patterns and ones that I would rank as “up there with Oliver + S”.
They have just released their button down shirt in paper pattern.
But you know…[Read more]

Thanks @lightningmcstitch and @liesl it makes perfect sense. In fact I found a tutorial that actually pictorially explains it so all I need now is some time to actually implement it. Thanks again and yes pics are on there way too.

Oooh, what a fun puzzle.
I haven’t made or worn a “cold shoulder” top so I can’t help with where the opening should start.
The notches of the sleeve head might be a bit high? Maybe 1/2″ below that.
I also wonder if you shouldn’t then bring the shoulder – the open edge of the shoulder that is, in a little. A similar adjustment to what you do if…[Read more]

Likewise. Well done!

I took the children to “railfest” this past weekend, an exhibiton day that is held by the volunteers of the Rail museum in our local capital city. Whilst there we took some time out to play in the small playground before heading home again.
