Maybe make a size 5 with extra length? You can always cross tie the straps across the back like my friend did with the first one I made her daughter that was initially to big, she ended up wearing it for 3 years straight!

So I have been in an absolute FUNK. 🙁

This primary election business is getting to me because of all the vitriol and I can’t simply turn away because it is our future. (US) (That’s all I will say about politics here.)

And work has been icky. I’ve had to deal with more people who think that fists are an acceptable form of communication…[Read more]

I’m wearing a merino fleece Metro T right now! Have a look at http://www.thefabricstore.com.au the have an L.A. store so US shipping should be reasonable.
There’s an amazing outdoor fabric supplier in the UK that I’ve purchased from, and I keep finding one in Canada when I’m searching online, but I forget the name….

How do you like your concord Tamara? I love mine and have been wearing it weekly. I’ve already traced a hacked version with a Kwiksew 3915 runched v neck collar.

The second thing it could be is something new–so it wouldn’t…[Read more]

Thank you, @justsewit for chiming in. I really appreciate it. I wondered if swayback might be what I was dealing with. I’ve got the book Fit for Real People and that was the only thing I could find that looked like it might be the problem.
