Thanks! its a good point about the safety, i mentioned it to her mom and said its up to her to decide. I have a feeling it may become a day dress if it comes out well 🙂

helpful to know baout the neckline!

I need to do the last steps but in the meantime its gotten too cold here for the coat 🙁 at -15 and -20 they need a different kind of coat.

but warmer weather is expected for the next weeks so fingers crossed

lovely! the fabric is great. The sleeve construction is very interesting!
this is a gift for a little one who lives far away, though I do have two much younger but very big headed kids of my own that might make appropriate head models, I will ask her mom to send her head measurement as well.

I have my pieces cut! But that is all for now. Sewing tonight I hope. After I cut everything I tried the size 3 I already made on one boy and its not huge, I hope they dont outgrow it in a day or something. But at least it will fit them now

Thanks!
Where is the tutorial? I would love to read it before I start!
Say more about the mod… when you say ribbing for the neck do you mean the neckband and that would make it sufficiently stretchy? I would like to avoid the buttons since it is for a nightie but was unsure about how to do it.

ah, when you type it out it seems so obvious 🙂 i hadnt purchased the pattern yet but of course…
thanks!

thanks! i will give it a try, i do know what you mean about the style of pants that fit that way
unfortunately i find even well fitting pants often make me uncomfortable when im sitting, something about how they press on my stomach even if its not overly tight. maybe there is a sewing/fit trick i could use to address this.

thank you so very much!!
my lucky day, they were 50% off at the local shop.
(otherwise that place is totally useless. i asked where the magnetic snaps were and the woman helping me said, yes we have them, around somewhere. I had to ask again to get her to tell me where!)

which magnetic snaps are people using? I see there are kinds that have 4 loops on the ends to sew in, but then also ones with a washer and metal parts you bend.
I’m planning on using them on a boiled wool fabric. Any tips??
Thanks!!
