I am sorry not be more help, I am really just thinking out loud.
I must admit, I adore these pj’s too. I have made blouses from the top.

Some width, yes. And specifically to make the opening of the neck larger.

@with love Heidi, that would make you a slightly less then favourite Aunty….

@SarahGreen, I think that is what I mean… 🙂
You are after width? Is that right?

My concern over keeping the look of the top is a contributing factor to my hesitation!

My daughter wore the size 6 until she was 9, but now she’s got broad shoulders! How did that happen so fast??!

Are you suggesting adding to the the back at the center seam AND from the shoulder- hem?

I will go use my visualizing powers on opening the front…[Read more]

I would wonder if you made it in stretch whether that would be enough?
My girls wore the size 8 until they were 12.
I don’t have a lot of success sizing up patterns, I find they lose the original look for me but I would wonder about splitting the centre front piece and adding to the middle?
Perhaps split the back at the shoulders to the hem and…[Read more]

After talking with my husband tonight we decided that as well as a hood and ears the onsie should have zip off feet (like boots) and zip off mittens too 🙂 Off to Spotlight again in the morning.
We rather like gadgets and overcomplicating things!
At least I think the zip off mittens should be easier than the integrated ones I drafted for the kids…[Read more]

I made a gorgeous white Coral fleece Cosy Bear hood from LTTS today. As I was sewing the ears down, the last step, to help them sit up nicley. I discovered I had left a pin in the bottom of one of the ears, inside the lined hood I had already sewn shut! I had to make a tiny hole behind the ear to get the pin out.
Lesson learnt, don’t use…[Read more]

After finishing the onsie, I had enough of the coral fleece left over to cut out a Cosy Bear hood from LTTS and a lullaby jacket! Not bad for a $2, <1m remanent. The bear hood is all done, and so cute and soft.
I’m not lining the jacket as I want it as cuddly on the outside as the I side. I just realised I want to add a zip to the front…[Read more]

@meleliza, yes, she said I needed a girdle?!?!

Good luck @justsewit.

Class Picnic blouse and shorts finished. I piped the shorts facing which actually made the easier to sew. How often that does happen?

Now I must finish this dress for my cousin. A sweet baby boy named Eoin placed it on hold for 12 months.

@kgiff, I will get on to that for you.
It would be my pleasure.
