I’ve made a few, but generally in fleece so it has some stretch. I would size up, especially as you say your kids have large heads 🙂
The only downside would be she can wear it longer and it doesn’t get passed to Trixie as fast 🙂

Is it important to you to make what you wear? Or are you open to buying something?

My plans have changed a bit as I realize now that I will be taking a train from Penn Station earlyish in the morning, arriving back there lateish in the evening, and won’t have a chance to change in between. Luckily, this friend is as unfussy as they come and I…[Read more]

I did the placket last night, seriously easy with Liesl’s amazing instructions 🙂 I’m hoping the collar goes on just as easily. This may become my new favorite pattern 🙂

After making Tildy some dungarees I would like to bump @Helena’s suggestion of a dungarees/overalls/romper/playsuit pattern.

I’m up to the placket, I can see this fast becoming a favourite sew. I’ve got ides for plain tops with floral collars and packets. The perfect use for all those small pieces of vintage florals I haven’t been able to throw out 🙂

I spent some time putting together the parachute pattern this morning while the children kept Chloe company. The pants look really long! I love the new format of the little dotted lines indicating where to cut and also the indication of which pages to print for the view you need. Ts a time and paper saving idea that’s genius!

I’m drafting 2 versions in size 5 (mash up of size 5 parachute and size 3 Tea Party and lots of length). The first is the parachute with the Tea Party curved bodice seam and Tea Party skirt. The second is a princess seamed dress with the neck, shoulders and armhole (and sleeves) of the parachute polo grafted onto the centre and side panels of…[Read more]

I will be interested to see how the two marry up. I have always thought the teaparty playsuit would be quite easy to lengthen. Its just a matter of working it all out!

So glad the Liesl and co patterns are ready for us now. It means I can go ahead and order them and the paper Oliver and s ones.

Finished the side opening parachute pants. Now I need to check the fit. the legs look smallish to go over casts, but then she has very slim long legs 🙂
Shelley, I love the idea of waterproof overpants pants! These would also be perfect for her, dry knees when she falls over 🙂

Lightning, I would love to see your version of a V neck, I can wait a month or longer. It will prevent me buying the Renfrew just for the V And cowl necklines 🙂
