Match the curved edges at the bottom of the pocket. Leave a opening to turn the pocket. The longer pocket piece will fold over towards the back of the pocket.
Does that help?

I end up just scrolling through pages looking for posts.

Thank you Todd.
I really don’t like snaps, I usually do buttons but if they are Liesl endorsed…..

No problems at all!
Happy to have you here!
I would add the ruffle to the front and pin and stitch the blinding over the top of it. That would give an ‘up’ ruffle.

Where would you like to add the ruffle, my love?

For the most case, it won’t matter if you cut the straps with the grain or across the fabric.
I made some silk ties for a dress once and cut one with and one across and the one across stretched a little.
I shouldn’t think you would have a problem with most fabrics you would use for the bear carrier.
I hope that helps.

Really? That is awesome, thank you!
It is a great finish which I use a lot. Its a great way to line a top or bodice.
You have made my day!

I am pretty sure Cindy from http://siestasandsewing.blogspot.com did this.

I used the Sketchbook shirt collar and sandwiched it between the facing.

Our Biggies had a New Years Eve party and I think we may make a tradition of that. They had a lot of fun and so did Jed and I.
Happy New Years, sweet sewing friends!

Very cute pjs!
I love them both, they are great patterns.

I have made size 2t and size 8 and there was a little ‘creepage’ that needed to be trimmed but I put that down to possibly sewing inaccurate seams and the slippery cord I was using.
