Nope mine do doesn’t have the notches either! I have only made it once back in Jan. But looking at the diagram and how I finished that part of the dress I think your pattern piece is fine. It should extend 1/2″ over the back, but that’s over the folded up button placket you created in the very first step of the instructions. I think you may…[Read more]

Ok, I had a peek, and I can think of 3 spots where something might have happened:
1. the pintucks: I made a mockup in paper and even in paper, I had a bit of trouble getting everything perfectly traced, transferred, and folded
2. the fold of the back edge — should be 1.5 inches total
3. tracing the back piece — the line for the 2T is close to…[Read more]

Thank you so much Kim, you are clever, I would have NO idea!

Bookwyrm, that’s my understanding that only the first 4 plus the new layette set cater for under 6m. Everything else starts at 6m size.

The lullaby layette only goes to a size 2. The first few patterns only went to size five I think and then a few at size 8 and then the later ones to size 12.

I can’t seem to find it now, but there was a cute one that cut the front stitching line on the fold to make a basic blouse with jewel neckline/no placket. Can’t remember if it was Instagram or maybe Pinterest?

How fun, glad it worked out — I am still trying to find the time to make this one. I’d also love to know what kinds of different spins people are putting on it. I did a quicky flickr search and found these:

Adorable doll.

Thank you! She’s a screen printed doll that I designed about 15 years ago. I planned to make them to sell, but it’s not worth the time involved. One day when I have time I may turn them into a kit. For now, I make them for gifts, and Audrey has my prototype as her best friend. Harriet goes EVERYWHERE with us 🙂

Oh this is just too sweet!! What a gorgeous doll! I love that she’s got brown eyes. F.
I used shoe laces that I found in Lincraft to thread thru a casing in a kidlet vest; the way the shoe lace is sealed at the end made it very easy to thread/tie the ‘toggle’ on the end, and it copes better with being washed becase hasn’t frayed – so far.

I am still waiting for Spoonflower fabric (the swatch wasn’t the right colour, so I have made a swatch sampler to make sure I get it right next time). I’ve done as much as I can on Audrey’s coat, but forced myself to stop before I did too much and made it harder later!
I have finished Audrey’s doll Harriet’s coat though 🙂

Oh yes, I can totally picture that — so instead the bias trim going ‘over the edge’ as it does now, the raw edge would be turned in — that is doable. I will try it out!

Ooh, I’ll have to go have a peek, now you mention it that does ring a bell, or whatever the visual equivalent is …
