So glad to hear it worked out!

Here’s the Flickr link that I was remembering. Flickr link
This is a stunning wool version of the School Photo dress by April1930s

Also this pattern is very easy to convert into a two piece as well. I made this shirt into a two piece collar on this shirt.

I saw a blog today that added a stand collar to the negroni!

@rebecca if you can follow diagrams and don’t have a very tall/big bloke then this book of shirt patterns would be the bomb!
There’s every collar/cuff/style combination imaginable.

@mlinton I remember an exquisite School Photo dress in the Flickr stream that was a wool with red pocket lining. It showed when viewed from the side and slightly open but man wax it a nice feature. Try searching the Flickr stream fro school photo dresses.
I think a thinner pocket facing is a good idea I you’re working with a thick(ish) fabric.

I finished Jed’s polo and should be making him one more garment… but as Hugo’s 18th is looming I have queue jumped the sewing rota and cut him another pair of Jedediah trousers and an Aime Comme Marie Mister shirt and me a pair of Ginger jeans and an Aime Comme Marie Madame shirt for me!

I rarely have this much cut waiting to be sewn, it feels…[Read more]

I have made several and the lining doesn’t show.
Perhaps roll your seam slightly inwards when pressing to be on the safe side.

Susan, I have some piccies of the yoke here as well as a nifty treatment for the collar to get it to sit like a two piece.

The Jedediah are seriously nice Rebecca http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/jedediah-baby.html

I also like this KwikSew pattern http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/jeans-for-hugo.html

I love this shirt http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/shirt.html

Thank you Heidi, you are kind.

Excellent idea! And I will practice on scraps before I do the pjs.

Haha, that’s so cute! Todd & Co, or the Big 4 version, Tedette…

I glad to hear it fit well other than length Susan, it’s my second favorite O+S pattern and my most used O+S pattern. (Well most used pattern of mine that I own too!) My two middle boys just requested some new ones for fall. Sadly my oldest out grew this pattern a few years ago. I would love for Lisel to make a men’s size one.

I made a hopscotch and my daughter wore it to school. She was sad that no one told her it was pretty. I said not everyone can be a winner. Lol.
