It was wonderful.
It does fray easily, but it wasn’t horrible. Treat it gently and serge/zigzag/french seam. You don’t need to line it.

Sorry, I don’t have a photo handy without the little bolero (it was early spring, so thought she needed a little more, but it…[Read more]

I was contemplating leaving the sleeves off the next. If it were a woven, I could finish the sleeves with bias binding. Any suggestions on how to do it with knit fabric? And would I need to change the armhole shape?

She is 4 and her measurements are similar: She has a 21.5″ chest, 20.5″ waist, and 21.5″ hips, 39″ tall. From past experience, I know her torso runs long and her legs are short.
For comparison, in the sleepover PJs (the only other pants I have made her), she is wearing a 3 on top and a 2 on bottom and…[Read more]
