Ok, my husband is home so I handed the baby to him (she is going through a non sleeping phase). Ok I have the instructions out and am looking at the diagram you uploaded.

The dotted line indicates the centre box pleat. So what you need to do is have the fabric folded and stitch down the dotted line to form to centre pleat. Then with the side…[Read more]

The Kaffe Fassett shot cottons make lovely play shirts. They only need the lightest of ironing once made up.

If you are finding it hard to get a nice turn, try basting a turning guide with a long stitch (#4). This will no only give you an accurate fold line but will gently ease the fabric.
If it is not enough ease, you can gather the stitches, just a bee’s whisker.

I was just catchin up and found your many posts. Let me put my baby down for a nap and then I can get the instructions out to help you ok?

I am actually looking to trace out this pattern in the 6-12 month size so hopefully I can walk you through together with completing it at the same time.

Will be back in a little while to talk you through ok?

@Emily without talking about your son’s “down there” bits I can’t imagine a 3 year old boy needs any different crotch rise from a girl of the same age!
I made some here; https://www.flickr.com/photos/79480359@N03/8668350104/in/dateposted-public/ for my son when he was 4. No adjustments and they fit very well.

Finally coming up for air after finishing a Metro long sleeved t-shirt for my husband’s birthday tomorrow. I gave myself a week of late nights by deciding to cross stitch the complete Galactica Space Invaders arcade game from the 80’s across the front! Pics soon I hope. Sleep first!!

Happy Mother’s Day to you too Nicole! And to everyone!

I went to church with (most) of my family and came home to find the house smelling of something burning. It turned out that the someone left at home (refusing to get out of bed) made a great stack of pancakes with honey and apple and had it ready and waiting for me on my return!
