What a great topic, thank you @emilyg

This is near to my heart as it is my 7 year olds sewing turn next.
Tildy has her own Pinterest board https://www.pinterest.com/fiveandcounting/sewing-for-tildy/ and we regularly go through it together and discuss what she likes.

What surprised me is how sophisticated her taste is. Tildy is also incredible…[Read more]

I’ll second that, the book has so many great patterns in it. I just made 5 of the bear carriers for a birthday party and they were a huge hit. I’m afraid I have two UFO messenger bags lurking somewhere — must get to finishing those!

@frances-suzanne that’s exactly the size/length I just made for my 4&3/4 year old and no probs at all with head hole size. Have fun. That placket is gold!

Great tip, Nicole — I will bear it in mind when making the tiny sizes.

Oh, a big yes to doll clothes! My daughter hasn’t been hugely interested in her doll, but her grandma is taking her out for the full American Girl experience so she’s getting more excited. I’ve been saving the larger scraps from her clothes so I can make coordinating ones for her doll. Might be a good way to extend my shelf life as the in house seamstress?

Thanks @motherof5 and @cybele727 for taking the time to respond!! We will be sewing a size 4T, with added length to the hem, so maybe we’ll be okay :).
Nicole replied to the topic Jump Rope Dress Placket in the forum oliver + s: jump rope 10 years ago

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

We are finally getting around to sewing this lovely pattern and were wondering the ease of getting it over a child’s head. Should we lengthen the placket slightly (without altering the integrity of the pattern) if our niece is traumatized when pulling ‘tight’ things over her head? IF this would be helpful, has anyone attempted it and what steps…[Read more]

@Cathbe, the best way to determine whether you need the twill tape (which I would actually recommend even if you don’t “need” it) is to check the stretch from selvedge to selvedge. If it stretches or if the fabric is quite heady you’ll almost certainly want it. I hope that helps!

Nothing like a mom who likes fun, colorful clothes to inspire you, eh?

I’ve finished off the first of five bear carriers, the other still need buttons and velcro. So tempted to take a break and make a new dress, to add to the closet full of pretty dresses that are worn once a week, at most. Sensible is sensible, but it isn’t much fun.
