I’ve made a few, but generally in fleece so it has some stretch. I would size up, especially as you say your kids have large heads 🙂
The only downside would be she can wear it longer and it doesn’t get passed to Trixie as fast 🙂

Is it important to you to make what you wear? Or are you open to buying something?

My plans have changed a bit as I realize now that I will be taking a train from Penn Station earlyish in the morning, arriving back there lateish in the evening, and won’t have a chance to change in between. Luckily, this friend is as unfussy as they come and I…[Read more]

I did the placket last night, seriously easy with Liesl’s amazing instructions 🙂 I’m hoping the collar goes on just as easily. This may become my new favorite pattern 🙂

I’m up to the placket, I can see this fast becoming a favourite sew. I’ve got ides for plain tops with floral collars and packets. The perfect use for all those small pieces of vintage florals I haven’t been able to throw out 🙂

I’m drafting 2 versions in size 5 (mash up of size 5 parachute and size 3 Tea Party and lots of length). The first is the parachute with the Tea Party curved bodice seam and Tea Party skirt. The second is a princess seamed dress with the neck, shoulders and armhole (and sleeves) of the parachute polo grafted onto the centre and side panels of…[Read more]

Finished the side opening parachute pants. Now I need to check the fit. the legs look smallish to go over casts, but then she has very slim long legs 🙂
Shelley, I love the idea of waterproof overpants pants! These would also be perfect for her, dry knees when she falls over 🙂

Lightning, I would love to see your version of a V neck, I can wait a month or longer. It will prevent me buying the Renfrew just for the V And cowl necklines 🙂

@DarcyStruble there was some discussion of how it could be done starting on this thread page: http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/your-wish-list/page/22
I fully intend to give this a go. I haven’t done it before but I think I’ve got my head around how it should work. I can do it for my next Oliver + S blog post. But that could mean about…[Read more]

You are very welcome, S. Miss sonja, that sounds courageous.

That’s a great idea @withloveHeidi and they will be great for afterwards when all is healed as sport track pants that she can put on without yet having to take shoes off. The pattern should be perfect.

I think a lot of places will ship fabric on the bolt if you order the right quantity. I don’t know about Fabric Mart, however, they do have some chambrays in stock now, one in large quantity, and they’ve got a pyramid sale going so you can get a good discount: http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/Chambray/
