Accidentally picking up my small sized rotary cutter off the table thinking it was my tracing wheel and then using it…yep, did that today. That’ll teach me to tidy up as I go along.

Yeah! The shorts fitted! I just need to insert elastic now.

Thanks for info, Heidi. Between your advice and Nicole’s it does seem I should have asked for hip measurements. The shorts are finished now and I’m pleased with them- let’s just hope they fit! I will be arriving in Canada lunch time Thursday and can’t wait to see them all. I think there are more clothes for Rose than for me!

No, you are very helpful. I can see how difficult it is to sew for children who you don’t have access to! I will be measuring every little inch of their bodies when I am in Canada- then they will go and grow!!

Thanks for quick reply, Nicole! I asked my daughter for waist measurement, maybe I should have asked for hip? So looking at your size for Matilda I think I might cut the next size down for the boys. Its not end of world if too small- they would come in for Rose, I suppose, or if Laura has another one, she was making some mutterings …
