Firstly, when did she become 6months?????? Gah, they grow too fast!

I’d say Class Picnic and Sleepover PJ’s get the most love here. Oh, and swingset tunic. Honestly, I’d make more 2+2, but I need to hunt down the larger set LOL. I also plan to make some Playdates, because those are perfect with leggings. I need to make some of my…[Read more]

Least worn: just about anything I made when my oldest was 2 or 3. She was SO picky about clothes. I had a gorgeous gray corduroy Jumprope View B that I think got worn five times, and only after much cajoling and threatening.

Most worn: Playtime leggings, all eight pairs that I have sewn. Two were worn to pieces and others outgrown. Also the…[Read more]

I think my most worn garments are the two matching floral Jump Rope dresses I made when Sofia was 3. They both wore them a lot and now Sofia has started wearing the pink one I made Isabel.

Least worn was also an After School set, and the Class Picnic shorts I made Isabel. But Sofia found those and started using them for gym so all hope isn’t lost.

Such an interesting topic. What is it about certain garments that gets them so much wear, and others so little? Fabric is a big part of it, as mentioned above. I made an After School top in a very light cream cotton and piped the top — the body of it was so light that the shirt became top heavy and was always skewing off one shoulder. Then I made…[Read more]

My sweet Liddy turned 11 today and I made her a red sunhat, at her request.
It was the Sunkissed sunhat but I did go all LTTS bucket hat on the construction.

Sorry you have been waiting for a reply, I just now logged on and saw your question. Fabric requirements for the small bag are: 1/2 yard fabric for the outer, 1/2 yard for the lining, 1/2 yard for the straps, 1/2 yard canvas for backing Fabric A (optional), 4 yards 1/2″ wide bias binding.

Hope that helps!

I learned my lesson, if it’s an O+S pattern made out of knit, Sophie will wear it. She actually wore out a pair of nature walk pants last week. Hopscotch, sailboat top, leggings, and playtime tunic have all been popular. Things made out of flannel are also well received (either pyjama pattern or the class picnic made into a dress).

I thought hard about this one, cause it’s a great question – then, I realized that the answer was right in front of me – 100% definitely, the most worn and least worn are from the same pattern – my daughter has worn these pajama bottoms probably about 5 days out of 7 – they are now half-way up her shins, yet she still wears them. The flannel is…[Read more]

@vtmomma – Erin, if you have your heart set on making the Music Box, then make it

Oh, good question!

Hmmm, let’s see – most worn would have to be Harry’s red Sandbox shorts (4 years – literally worn to death):

Rosie’s original Jump Rope got a lot of wear (2 years) -…[Read more]

Welcome back Becky, I hope the unpacking goes well.

I finished Tildy’s Field Trip outfit. Huge success, my girly girl loves her velvet farm trousers.

Next up a knit Music Class blouse and knit Lunch Box culottes for a sneaky school uniform for Liddy.

I found dresses just bunched up above the waist, it never bothered any of my babies.
Perhaps make one and see how you go. 🙂
