Nicole replied to the topic Where to add length in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 8 years ago
I have never lengthened a skirt that much Charlene but I would consider adding length in two places. I would divide the the panel into thirds and add the length at these lines.
Does that make sense? So you don’t end up with too exaggerated an A-line.It is a lovely skirt.

Thank you all so much for your advice and help. I made the cake and saved a small fortune!
@Ann-Maree, I used your excellent idea of two cakes. Whilst Hugo and Co were making speeches and ‘cutting the cake’ a good friend and I were cutting and plating up the other cake, close by.
By the time speeches were done, cake was ready to be eaten.Thank you!

I have a lot of Christmas sewing planned, whether I get there is another thing.
Is it just me or does ‘linky party’ bug anyone else? Even my Macbook doesn’t want to type it.Link up party, maybe?

Hello Lovelies, so nice to read that people are sewing.
Tilly received a last minute 6th Birthday invite and the little girls mother asked me to sew something so nicely, I couldn’t say no. She requested something ‘Kardashian’ style and it took a wee bit of research (by the Twins) to find out that there is a children’s label.
Luckily, I had a…[Read more]

It is knit mania over here. My mother-in-law is leaving tomorrow after a week’s visit, which has enabled me to do quite a bit of sewing. Tonight I made a wee Field Trip Raglan for the baby, a pair of Playtime leggings for my oldest (size 4 with the length of a 7) and a pair of undies for my second.
Tamara, I’m fortunate to have a long table…[Read more]

Finally finished a long-planned outfit for the baby – a long-sleeved Lullaby Layette shirt and set of Playtime leggings using Lillestoff jersey I splurged on while I was pregnant. Most exciting – it was the maiden voyage of my new coverstitch machine! I have been stretching the hems incessantly just to watch them streeeeeetch without popping seams.

Try doing this http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/garden-party-dress-part-two.html except for adding the waistband. Baste the side seams, fit and adjust yours gathers and then unpick the side seams and add the waist band.
Then you can make it as big as you need too.xx N

Thank you @shokomoo, you are sweet. We are campaigning Liesl to make a dungarees pattern.
My sewing gal-pal @ock-du-spock tracked down the same pattern in a larger size.It is lovely fabric.

Not to go against @with-love-heidi, she sews for a plethora of lucky children, I would only add to the back if she is really overweight.
Chubby little girls tend to have big tummies, which this dress would disguise well, if you add to the back it may get ‘tenty’ and lose the original look. -

I wonder if small hands are an advantage? My BIL used to get me to pull lambs as my hands were smaller.
Have fun shopping, seriously jealous.
