Kmac, the Music Box pinafore is a lovely pattern – and View A – pleats all around – could look very dressy in the right fabric. It’s longer than some of the other dress patterns, and could be worn over either a long or short sleeve blouse or top depending on the weather. Or you could add flutter sleeves to the shoulder line. Good luck with the project.

Yes, I’ve reserved the smaller sized Art Museum from same site. ” my” little boys are finally getting big enough for proper trousers, and at least one likes wearing vests. Looking forward to buying the Lunchbox culottes, too. I have a watching brief for O+S patterns on ebay but it keeps alerting me to stuffed scarecrows, and vintage patterns, as…[Read more]

I wonder if you could add elastic to the back waistband for some ease?
That would be awesome for my 6 child waist line.

I agree, I am starting from scratch with Beatrix’s wardrobe. It is great fun and surprising how few ‘outfits’ she actually needs.
Love this thread!

Oh, those are wonderful — a bit of neutral really makes the bright colors pop, doesn’t it? Some folks are so great at mixing up patterns (like Nele), but when I get inspired and try it myself I think each pattern gets a bit lost in the others. Neutral + accent is so versatile, it’s great for dipping your toe in the world of strong, vivid colors…[Read more]

The culottes are designed to sit at the natural (or actual) waist, and I do think they look better worn that way. I tend to wear most pants and jeans lower on the waist, but I would encourage you to wear these higher. We’ve sort of forgotten where our actual waists are over the past ten years of fashion, haven’t we?

Oh, I’d forgotten this thread – thanks for ressurecting it Sarvi.
I adore that Paddington outfit – think I favourited every pic of it. Such perfect details.
The three piece set is fab too – have you seen her adult tees (same Liberty….gorgeous) (& sorry – no link – on phone so too hard – but they’re in the Liesl&Co group)

Maybe we need a sew along for knock offs of each other’s work? It is pretty special that set.

Thanks Lightning! I just ordered the larger Hide and Seek and Garden party as well as the Lullaby Layette 🙂
