  • After making Tildy some dungarees I would like to bump @Helena’s suggestion of a dungarees/overalls/romper/playsuit pattern.

    I spent some time putting together the parachute pattern this morning while the children kept Chloe company. The pants look really long! I love the new format of the little dotted lines indicating where to cut and also the indication of which pages to print for the view you need. Ts a time and paper saving idea that’s genius!

    I will be interested to see how the two marry up. I have always thought the teaparty playsuit would be quite easy to lengthen. Its just a matter of working it all out!

  • Has anyone tried to make the v neck version? Husband wants this in a v neck (I’ve made him a couple regular versions and he likes those but he wants a little variation).

    So I guess the question is, if you’ve done it, what did you do? Thanks 🙂

    Rummaging through a box of ufo’s i had set aside for when time availed (when noah was a wee babe), I found a few things that I could use now. A very large looking romper that had been cut out in flannelette featuring sheep, along with an almost completed embroidered collar to match and some fabric earmarked for a little square yoke along with a…[Read more]

    Two weekends ago, we in Australia commemorated Anzac Day. It was in fact the centenary year. There were something like 90000 people rocking up to the dawn service at Kings park Perth! And then later that…[Read more]

    Sarvi I think Donna may mean the inner most corners, aka the seam allowances.

    Donna, i have just been going through the instructions (one handed I’m afraid as I have a baby with a cold that insists on being held). Gathering the info of what your dilemma is and comparing the photos (Thanks so much Brittney for helping upload these) to the pictures…[Read more]
