The only super safe way to scrimp is to lay out your pattern. The pieces are quite wide so you may well need your yardage.

I completely agree about the lack of stylish little girls clothing in the RTW market. I am have a blast dressing my littlest two girls (the older ones are nice too but the little ones still wear whatever I like).

I also agree that the patterns are failsafe, which is so nice when we are all far too busy to…[Read more]

If I could buy time,

You *can* absolutely, but it can be a little rougher in texture so if your child has sensory issues, perhaps check that first?
