You are very welcome Becky.
There are several lovely ladies that sew for others as they have none of their own, here. So you are not alone!
Please, please share your photos in the flickr group.

When I have time (snigger) I will contribute. My eldest in planning and building me a storage system for my sewing room/children’s craft room, in his Gap year.
It will be based on this http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878252720/
I am so lucky!

It doesn’t matter too much if your stay stitching puckers a little. If you increase the stitch length you can ease it after sewing, anyway.
I am so glad you are using stay stitching. It will really add to the professional finish of your garment.
I would be nervous of glue, in case it went hard or got on my iron.
I agree with Sarvi, it is lovely to…[Read more]

Day three completed!
I used the awesome Deb’s method for sewing in the lining.

I think they are pretty similar from my memory.
If your child is particularly skinny you *can* fold some width out of the pattern. I have done this but my daughter is very very skinny.
ETA I always have to open my fabric out to cut the bottoms.

Good luck!

Here is my tute http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878416947/, it is a great sew.
I would wonder if you sewed the shoulders seams and then checked by pulling it over your little ones head (you may need to cut the neck opening a bit bigger) if you used ribbing, like a t-shirt neck?
I am only pondering though, I have not made it….. 🙂

You will love this pattern. It is no ordinary t-shirt dress.

Day one done, only just…… and ONLY because Hugo rocked Trixie.
Better late then never Tamara 🙂

Patricia, I got Hugo’s here https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/14552916057/, so cheap! ($10/m)
Do you have any relly’s in Melbourne?
