Do I make first the polo or pants?
Do I make it using apples or ants?
Perhaps I should choose

It took me an eon to sew

Even though they print from rolls, many 36″-wide printers are only able to print pieces up to a certain maximum length. I forget the exact length now (I always need to look it up when we have a long pattern), but it’s around 80-90 inches or so.

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

if you have a wee flick through this set you can see how much ease it had 🙂

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.

Are you in a rush? You can have my copy.

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)

That sounds so pretty Lisa

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!
