I tend to go back to “Fit for Real People”, Palmer/Pletsch Publishing when I get stuck with fitting.

I will have a look in the morning, I am sure I have some.
I would love to have you round for a pot of tea and we could both have a play.

Becky, I checked out my notes on this pattern and I have made the large size and the small and I have not made mention of any discrepancies.
I am sorry not to be more help.

I am happy to share, I was given the contents of a drapery section of a small country shop. It posts very cheaply.
Let me know what you are after and I will see what I have.

My waist is too big for my pants
I wonder if, maybe, by chance
They shrunk in the wash
Yet I’m ever so posh

Oh yes, how did I forget about Craftsy? Perfect suggestion! That way, she can choose herself. Smart people in this forum!!

i was just thinking that looked just like the Woodland Cape! http://oliverands.com/oliver-and-s-patterns-singles/OLV-OS040FP.html

Wow Reeni, how generous are you. Sounds like fun. You’re also obviously a stickler for detail so I salute you!
At first I instantly thought Nature Walk too, but by the time you overlap the pattern pieces and then turn it into a raglan sleeve (I imagine that would be tricky) it’s a lot of work.
How about the Carousel dress? There you have a raglan…[Read more]

Could you take the neckline from the Nature Walk and graft it onto an oversized Field Trip? Then you’d have the raglan sleeve (easier to sew than a set-in sleeve) and the collar from the Nature Walk. Are all the kids the same size so you’d only need to do this one? You’re very generous to do this for the kids!

My waistline’s too big for my pants

There once was a designer from New York
Who loved foie gras and pulled pork
Said he to his lady:
Patè is ethically shady…
But her mouth was too full to talk

Kym, I have a lot of cotton lace, I can send you some for future projects.

I can’t think of a good starter
But I’ll wear my hair shirt like a martyr
I’ll hunt for a rhyme
With my eye on the time
Oh my, I don’t think I could laugh any harder.
