Hi Sonja, I think you may have answered your own question.
As there are many seams that make the ‘body’ of the trousers, if you make all your seam allowances a bit narrow, the yoke will be too small.
I think I did the same with my first pair.

An easy fix, if this happens again and you have topstitched your seams, is to add a bit of easing through…[Read more]

Too adorable for words.

Me too, Robin. I clicked on the profile to double check. 🙂

Johanna, are you long in the body? If so ( like me) I can just lop off the hem. If you are short bodied you may want to shorten above the waist line.

Several pairs in rotation over two daughters and no complaints here.

I have used this template, I printed it out at 180% for my son a few years ago… to do the slider or velcro, I added length to the “stem” parts and finished them instead of sewing them together.

Thank you Lovely!
I just used a slightly longer straight stitch

I love it!

Still plugging away at Elsa’s coat. Not so pleasant to sew wool with a stuffy nose and head cold.
Sewing for babies sounds much more fun but I have Zara, Hugo, Me, Jed and Gifts before it is sweet Trixie’s turn again.
It doesn’t stop me planning…..

Are you in a rush? You can have my copy.
I purchased it in case Trixie was a boy. I am happy to swop for that tee pattern.

This is cute and the boys look like an elegant tied version.

Congratulations Audrey.:)

Just picked up my daughter, Elsa, (15) from work experience at an animal reserve.

She handled everything from pythons to possums and even minded a monkey!

Then perhaps consider a cloth with some stretch.
I made a maternity version in wool spandex and it gave me quite a bit of ease.

(I would post a link but I am worried the whole photo would appear and no one needs to see that huge belly here)

I’d say the City Quilter exclusives if you want to commemorate your trip, and Tinsel Trading… also the shops that cater to costuming for stage. I think everything else could be found in CA if you looked hard enough…
