The layout diagram should tell you which way, but usually, fold right sides together, thus lay pattern pieces right side up on the wrong side of the fabric.

I’ve got a pair of these ready to sew, waiting by my machine.

If the fabric is defective, you could return it. I think Cotton + Steel would stand behind their fabric.

Thanks, Lightning. I’ve always had the child in front of me for the elastic-never referenced those measurements for that purpose so it didn’t occur to me.

I finally found a paper Bedtime Story pj pattern on eBay. I set up a search so it would send me an email when one was posted. Finally snagged one.

I suspect the forums would buy a lot of those samples! I know I’d love any size 3T or 4T boy items:-).

What about doing group shots and using one of the forum groups for the sale? Sort of like a very casual online garage sale?

Most thrift stores accept fabric. Just bag it up. Also, some towns have craft collectives–we have one in our neighborhood where they accept all used/new unwanted craft supplies and re-sell them at very low prices.

Other ideas…classrooms for art projects, preschools, chuch groups, quilt guilds.

Also, the rear pockets are REALLY low, comically so.

I made size 2T.

I’ll try this again in a lighter…[Read more]

Carefully pinned the yokes on the legs of a pair of after school pants and stitched them only to realize I had sewn right to wrong rather than right to right. Gavk!

Mostly boys-it’s Marvel fabric I found at Jo An. Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Wolverine. I know there is a fabric featuring the DC female superheroes- Wonder Woman, Supergirl, but my DD isn’t that into DC comics. I got it mostly done, just need to sew top and bottom together.

Finished the Sunny Day shorts yesterday. Used a cute train print and the beach bum pocket hack as DS likes his pockets. DS put them on right away!

Finished my Metro tee this morning. Kaufman Laguna in black. Very comfy.

Now, working on a duvet cover in superhero print for eldest DD.
