Cotton lawn would be a great choice. It’s very nice to wear, presses well, and is easy to sew. Depending on the color and print, it may be opaque or it may be a bit sheer. If it is sheer, you can line the dress pretty easily. I’m sure somebody here can talk you through it when you get to that part, if it becomes an issue.

I’ve done a pair of navy shorts up to the zipper and I have some brown one cut ready to sew. Now I need to waste an hour going to get zips. I’m fairly sure I’ll get these two done, I’m not sure if I’ll get any more though. I think two will get me through 🙂

In answer to your question Nicole, the biggies need everything! Miss Chloe just needs a few pretties in the 3-6 month size so they are ready but much more in the next size again – slow progress sewing.

It makes it very difficult when you have a little boy one minute then you see him literally growing in his sleep the next – my mother infuriated…[Read more]

@dubhels2003 I think she has a list she keeps and works from when she’s going to do one. I’ve already passed on the question to her.

Thanks so much for doing this Lotta!

That pattern has just been an OK seller. It was only selling at about half the monthly volume we would need to see to justify a reprint. And it doesn’t sell very well in digital format.

People who sew it seem to really like it, but it’s probably our most difficult pattern. And that puts a lot of people off. Easier patterns always sell better than…[Read more]

Oh, that’s a good point — the PDFs can reach a wider audience.You probably know about this shop in Islington already but I remember seeing them there, maybe they’ll have it? http://www.raystitch.co.uk/

Thanks SO much for doing this! It’s downloaded, printed, and being colored in by my daughter right now – perfect for the “I’m bored” morning she’s having today.

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!

Is that for AUS?
Thank you so much you absolute darling!

I’m so surprised this one didn’t have the needed sales for another print run! This seems like everybody’s go-to fancy dress pattern.

This is going to make such a fantastic mom/kid project, thank you! LOTTA, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!

Exactly @meleliza, I admire the skill involved and the time taken to do this. I tend to hand ball (this sort of thing) to Hugo as I am complete dunderhead when it comes to computers.

Back to work on the shorts this morning!

Thank you! Even though I have made my own version I will enjoy this one too 🙂

I found an hour to start Tildy’s velvet Field Trip cargoes. I cut the size 18-24 mnth with the length of the 5. The back leg is great but I have ended up with a too short front leg, I must have not got my measurements quite right. It is not a biggie though, I can add a wee panel to the bottom front leg as it will work with the existing panels.
