i was just thinking that looked just like the Woodland Cape! http://oliverands.com/oliver-and-s-patterns-singles/OLV-OS040FP.html

Wow Reeni, how generous are you. Sounds like fun. You’re also obviously a stickler for detail so I salute you!
At first I instantly thought Nature Walk too, but by the time you overlap the pattern pieces and then turn it into a raglan sleeve (I imagine that would be tricky) it’s a lot of work.
How about the Carousel dress? There you have a raglan…[Read more]

My waist is too big for my pants
I wonder if, maybe, by chance

Could you take the neckline from the Nature Walk and graft it onto an oversized Field Trip? Then you’d have the raglan sleeve (easier to sew than a set-in sleeve) and the collar from the Nature Walk. Are all the kids the same size so you’d only need to do this one? You’re very generous to do this for the kids!

Yes, I second Reeni’s spray starch suggestion. I started using it a few months ago to keep knits lying flat so I could photograph the steps. Turns out, it seems a little easier to sew the knits with the spray starch, too. Much less fiddling with the curled edges.

There once was a designer from New York
Who loved foie gras and pulled pork
Said he to his lady:
Patè is ethically shady…
But her mouth was too full to talk

Kym, I have a lot of cotton lace, I can send you some for future projects.

I can’t think of a good starter
But I’ll wear my hair shirt like a martyr
I’ll hunt for a rhyme
With my eye on the time
Oh my, I don’t think I could laugh any harder.

The holiday season draws near
Hm, What to make for those I hold dear?
Jammies or dresses?
The decision distresses..
Oh that’s a new pattern calling, I hear!

I can’t think of a good starter… I pass on to anyone else….
