Thank you for extra info/comments about this pattern. Hopefully will get opp to try this pattern this year. So interesting to see how much Tildy has grown, Nicole since the photo of her in coral pants/top c/o After School.

This is my first attempt of this pattern, and I’m pleased with it so far. I particularly like the design of the inseam pockets – the skirt to pocket seams are well…[Read more]

I even got to use them yesterday with a student 🙂

Finished the layette bodysuit; thanks for the push Tamara! I think it will be very comfortable for the baby as it is made of double-faced gauze that was a major pain in the patoot to sew. Major. But it’s all done and maybe tomorrow I will finish the pants. Check!

I second the After School as definitely worth a go. The back yoke on those is fabulous for giving sufficiently high back coverage. So much so that I’ve used the back half of those mashed to other pants fronts.
