I’ve looked into this before, and for the small quantities I wanted, it was a bit more than I wanted to spend to get woven labels. There are lots of great option on Etsy for small batches of printed labels, but in the end I just had my daughter’s name printed a bunch of times onto a fat quarter from Spoonflower, and I cut them out as needed.

I think for a winter baby the pinwale cord might be fine — the pants haven’t got elastic at the ankle. If you’re one of our Southern Hemisphere friends and having a summery December, then yes, perhaps just the jacket in pinwale.

So annoying when that happens! Glad it got resolved!

@enbee are you in Australia or overseas? I found a place the otherday as I am looking to change mine (they aren’t fabric) and I found a place called labelsandribbon.com.au. They look rather good.

Mens trench coat! grown up Secret Agent Trench!
I just sewed up the size 12 coat and realised I won’t be able to make him another one 🙁

Love the extreme face warmer!

I agree with Nicole, it’s not too slim and not too roomy. Enough ease to be comfortable without looking baggy.

I find this a good fit, not sloppy, for the size chart given. It is my skinny, broad shouldered 11 year old’s shirt de jour.

I do add some length, maybe 3 inches? You can always shorten it.

Hope that helps.

Hi Judith, I haven’t got my copy handy, but could you snap a pic of yours so I can see what you’re seeing? Maybe it’s in a different spot than usual?

I haven’t but it’s on my to sew list. I need to do it soon as the girl it was requested for will only be in size 5 this winter and next 🙁

Sounds extremely exotic! I actually might make some for our speedy trip south in a couple of weeks – even though it was only 14 degrees here today it is much colder south so they may be handy.

I will pay some attention to a shorts pattern tomorrow in order to make six pairs for this camp!

Today was perfect sewing weather – 47mm and still raining woohoo!

Snoods sound like a great idea. Isn’t it nice to be able to make one rather than having to look for one in the shops!
I’m finishing up the trench coat. I’m sewing up the fleece lining I add. then I’ll need to go and get some buttons.
I started a denim/jeans leaders and enders quilt. I’m surprised at how much I’ve got done just putting one or…[Read more]
