Just realised I’ve now modified all 4 pieces of the parachute pants. I added extra width to the hem to fit over the casts at the ankle better. I already made the waistband 2 pieces and changed the stripe into an overlap 🙂

Just finished the PJ side opening parachute pants before dinner, now onto the blue school uniform ones for tomorrow morning!
I thought I had an extra day before she went back to school but fortunately she is able to go back earlier than we initally thought 🙂

Can we please have the polo top in ladies and men’s sizes 🙂

Ah, I didn’t realise the bridal shower was for the same wedding!

Meleliza, did you make the lovely lace overlay bistro dress last year? I seem to remember one that matched your daughters dress?

This is the one I’m thinking of. Espically as your daughter will have her own beautiful flower girl dress to wear so it won’t be matchy.

After taking my niece the side opening parachute pants and showing her how they work, she requested some “night pants”, pajama pants, as “I will have to wear my casts all the time”. She requested them by tomorrow as that’s when she getting her casts. So I will put aside her birthday dress and make more pants 🙂

I’ve made a few, but generally in fleece so it has some stretch. I would size up, especially as you say your kids have large heads 🙂
The only downside would be she can wear it longer and it doesn’t get passed to Trixie as fast 🙂

I did the placket last night, seriously easy with Liesl’s amazing instructions 🙂 I’m hoping the collar goes on just as easily. This may become my new favorite pattern 🙂

I’m up to the placket, I can see this fast becoming a favourite sew. I’ve got ides for plain tops with floral collars and packets. The perfect use for all those small pieces of vintage florals I haven’t been able to throw out 🙂

The second is a princess seamed dress with the neck, shoulders and armhole (and sleeves) of the parachute polo grafted onto the centre and side panels of…[Read more]

Finished the side opening parachute pants. Now I need to check the fit. the legs look smallish to go over casts, but then she has very slim long legs 🙂
Shelley, I love the idea of waterproof overpants pants! These would also be perfect for her, dry knees when she falls over 🙂
