Yep.

This is my bread and butter! 🙂
Happily it may be the push I need to redo my all time favourite pattern mash in a new, bigger size. It was the back if the After School pants on modified front of the Field Trip. I made about five pairs in the end…

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.

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.

@sarvi it is awesome. Jed calibrated it yesterday and we are having a cool snap so it is perfect baking weather.

I need a new kettle now, my old one looks very grungy on the hob.

Great ideas @ann-maree.

How frustrating @rhythmtyagi, it may soften yet or you could try giving it a scrub with a nailbrush and some yellow soap. That may help remove the dressing.

I made these for my baby girl https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/17417326175/in/album-72157649752898567/ ( not O+S, blush) and I pointed the Chevrons downwards even though they were across the grain on the fabric.

I made my older daughter a coat from the same cloth ( I purchased a bolt) and I did the same. Both garments are wearing well with…[Read more]

@AmyF how very kind of you.

If she is only 8 I am wondering of she is only really after width? I have sewn for a obese child and her I found that was he case for her. I think what I would do is too split the front dress panel in half and add a few inches to the that.

I would add the same to the front bands and add quite a bit to the waist one…[Read more]

😃 @jwo until you’ve tried to intubate a rabbit, you know nothing of difficult airways!
I’d find all of that fascinating!

@jwo I’m very strong and good at carrying bags! 💪😃

@mmollett here’s a link to a blog post right here on Oliver + S where I’ve shown how to do a placket just like that one.
http://oliverands.com/community/blog/2015/02/hide-and-seekcinema-dress-front-placket-tutorial.html I used the Hide and Seek dress, but you could do it to almost any dress. The playtime is probably the closest to your inspiration…[Read more]

No, you’re correct. The top has side splits and the back hem is lower than the front hem. It’s a nice feature.
Enjoy your sewing.

@charlene10is , I am sorry, my patterns are packed up at present but this may be some help to gauge the length http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2011/10/ive-got-them-class-picnic-neck-band.html
