Looks like there has been some bought time where this baby is concerned. It now looks likely we have another week up our sleeve. Of course the date is not set in stone, we actually have three to choose from but one is a definite “no way!” We have four weeks to really decide when baby’s birthdate will actually be and then there is no turning back…[Read more]

Ha ha! I read the question title and was thinking “I vaguely recall making some comparison between those….”
I think the bedtime story do use less fabric for the size. They’re perhaps my favourite of the two pants.

I think they are pretty similar from my memory.
If your child is particularly skinny you *can* fold some width out of the pattern. I have done this but my daughter is very very skinny.
ETA I always have to open my fabric out to cut the bottoms.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Here is my tute http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878416947/, it is a great sew.
I would wonder if you sewed the shoulders seams and then checked by pulling it over your little ones head (you may need to cut the neck opening a bit bigger) if you used ribbing, like a t-shirt neck?
I am only pondering though, I have not made it….. 🙂

I might get to cut it out tonight. I saw some very beautiful wool yesterday – online! I might do mine in corduroy after all.

You will love this pattern. It is no ordinary t-shirt dress.
The shoulders have such a great shape.
I have a step by step tute for the dress but as it is for a nightie I wonder if you could cut the back bodice on a centre fold and use ribbing for the neck ?

I think your best bet would be to trace your pieces off with the extra length and lay them out to determine how much of each. And remember to add just a little as knits will shrink. Good luck!

Day one done, only just…… and ONLY because Hugo rocked Trixie.
Better late then never Tamara 🙂

I’m dragging my feet and won’t be able to start until Wednesday 🙁

Patricia, I got Hugo’s here https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/14552916057/, so cheap! ($10/m)
Do you have any relly’s in Melbourne?

I am still cutting!!! (In between feeding and rocking the baby’s hammock)
We can be tardy together. 🙂

Gah, that’s so cute! Good eye, Nicole.
