The back placket will extend the life of the garment. Lidia wore her for years past its ‘correct’ size as she could shimmy into it with the placket open.

Don’t take my ironing from me, it is how I sort my world!

A basket of crispy cotton and linen, dried in the sunshine, pressed smooth and hung on beautiful coat hangers and put away.

I would never get to watch telly if I didn’t iron 😉

Oh no @jwo

I made Trixie a gorgeous white Hopscotch nightie yesterday which will stay pristine as I used a too firmer knit and it won’t go over her head.
Le sigh.

I love flannelette pj’s. Amy Butler flannel is amazing. I have some jammies that are onto their third owner.

I finished Beatrix’s ‘go’ on my rota, on to Matilda, starting with a Jumprope school dress.

I love my (two) Tefal irons. They get nice and hot with lots of steam. I kill irons and this brand has lasted the longest.

I am so pleased it worked out @enbee

@with-love-heidiHeidi, I am *finally* about to tackle that pattern. I hope I can call on you if I need to.

I have been sewing for Trixie. A Playtime tunic&leggings, a Bubble dress+bloomers, a Puppet Show+ shorts, a 2+2 blouse and now a Sailboat top and trousers.

I love how quick and rewarding tiny clothes sewing is.

What are the rest of you…[Read more]

The size will determine my answer @frances-suzanne
Up to size 2T, yes. After that I found it perfect.

@lightningmcstitch is correct. This is one pattern that needs to fit well in the girth. Get the smaller size.

(And make a muslin bodice)

I would do as you suggest but sew one side of your collar to the jacket ( the under collar) and the upper collar to your facing/lining.

Then sew those together

@justsewit you darling, that is perfect!

@with-love-heidi, what is your browser History? 😉
Too funny.

I am thinking shorts with singlet tops as pjs @etc3 does it each year so well.
