It doesn’t matter too much if your stay stitching puckers a little. If you increase the stitch length you can ease it after sewing, anyway.
I am so glad you are using stay stitching. It will really add to the professional finish of your garment.
I would be nervous of glue, in case it went hard or got on my iron.
I agree with Sarvi, it is lovely to…[Read more]

I think they are pretty similar from my memory.
If your child is particularly skinny you *can* fold some width out of the pattern. I have done this but my daughter is very very skinny.
ETA I always have to open my fabric out to cut the bottoms.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Here is my tute http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878416947/, it is a great sew.
I would wonder if you sewed the shoulders seams and then checked by pulling it over your little ones head (you may need to cut the neck opening a bit bigger) if you used ribbing, like a t-shirt neck?
I am only pondering though, I have not made it….. 🙂

You will love this pattern. It is no ordinary t-shirt dress.
The shoulders have such a great shape.
I have a step by step tute for the dress but as it is for a nightie I wonder if you could cut the back bodice on a centre fold and use ribbing for the neck ?

I think your best bet would be to trace your pieces off with the extra length and lay them out to determine how much of each. And remember to add just a little as knits will shrink. Good luck!

Day one done, only just…… and ONLY because Hugo rocked Trixie.
Better late then never Tamara 🙂
