I love the idea of getting a loose change tin! And all the fun of adding it up and then sharing it out 🙂

I lined the jacket with flanel when I made it. I’m also thinking of making the Jacket out of cuddle fleece. I think the pants would be great in fleece. you might want to add a ribbing cuff to keep the heat in.

Ooh yes, no need to finish the seams for felt. Clever.

The lunch box with a drink is genius! I wish I had thought of that!

How about washable fabric pen/chalk for marking off patterns, measuring tape, quilting ruler (again, for marking straight lines on fabric, such as for a pillowcase), one of those needle threaders like so:

Thank you!
Glad to know i wasn’t actually mucking it up after all. The instructions are always so perfect i could see no way of getting it wrong!

For posterity’s sake, this issue was due to a minor labeling error on the initial release of the pattern. Details can be found here:

Finished waist too small

The issue has been corrected now and future downloads of the pattern will be of the revised version.

The pattern has now been corrected to show the correct size labels on the center front and center back pleats.

If you purchased the pattern prior to this posting, you can use your link to download and save an updated copy of the pattern. (The only changes are to the pleat size labels on pages 25, 41, and 51 of the PDF file.)

If it’s a behavioral (i.e. not medical) issue, there are nightlights that visually show the child when they’re supposed to stay in bed vs when it’s time to get up – a moon lights up for stay-in-bed time, and you can program the built-in timer to switch to lighting up a sun when it’s ok for them to get up. This is one I was recommended (not…[Read more]

That would be some very precise wrapping 🙂

I also have a wakeful kid, I didn’t get five continuous hours of sleep until well past her second birthday. You are not alone!

Could it be that she is just not yet ready to sleep independently? Could you put her bed in your room or let her sleep with you? It sounds like you are a source of comfort and security for her.

We like having ours…[Read more]

HaHa @LightningMcStitch you gave me an idea, maybe I’ll have a few drinks before bed so I can sleep through it and let hubby deal with it! 😉
