I cut a PlayTime dress size 2T with the length of a size 4 from 1 metre of Kokka linen. AND it was a directional print.
*BUT I had to cut the pockets from another fabric.*

I made a suede version for Tildy and used brass drizabone studs.
I washed that quite a few times in the machine (on a wool wash with shampoo and conditioner) and the suede is still in good repair.

My husband made a valid point, just hitch ’em up when they are wearing disposables.

I am sorry Alison, I worded that badly.
I do add length to the top of the waist band, often I size up. So, yes, I add length.
I am sorry, that was all me!

When I make bottoms bigger I add to the waistband and the centre back seam.
Could you work backwards from there?
Sorry not to be more help.

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?

You are so right. I figured it was me as I am a computer moron.
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.
To add a ruffle pointing down the leg could be trickier, or you could finish the shorts as per instructions and then add a gathered piece to the inside, baste it and then topstitch it…[Read more]

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.
