Ive chosen the next size up for my son (hes just under two and ive seleced the 3-4 years size) but Im a bit confused about the part contours; there are two parallel contour lines but Im not sure if the inner line is intended for the smaller size and the outer contour is for the older size or are the lines for seam allowances? thanks so much for your help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272860402757271550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145950666581589223.post-70865807109087284862012-09-12T03:29:50.194+01:002012-09-12T03:29:50.194+01:00I am so glad to hear that the pyjamas were success...I am so glad to hear that the pyjamas were successful after all! I always get so depressed when I look at my UFOs or unloved items but as I mainly sew with either quilting cotton or quilt quality fabrics I have decided that those I can't give away (because they are in no wearable state) will go into my scrap quilting cache so that they may live again so it isn't a complete loss.<br /><br />I have been lucky enough to find a shirt pattern very close the the Classic Shirt in Vintage Style but have you ever seen anything like the pin tuck shirt? My son is aching for oneLollybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471549134677266466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145950666581589223.post-50028724269552545062012-09-11T11:14:00.685+01:002012-09-11T11:14:00.685+01:00I feel for your frustration!

I had just the same experience with the toddler romper suit, now a longstanding UFO (and too small for my daughter now it's languished for so long). The photography is so enticing though, I do keep going back and contemplating a go at another pattern. Or maybe the same pattern but a bit bigger - after all my complaints about the sizing, my son adores these PJs so much that he still squeezes into them a year later.runciblespoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299362615664028175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145950666581589223.post-49657296766253414232012-09-11T10:30:54.418+01:002012-09-11T10:30:54.418+01:00I must say I'm inclined to agree with you abou...I must say I'm inclined to agree with you about the book, It looks beautiful and the photography is great but the instructions don't exist in any helpful capacity. I am a very experienced sewist and attempted the Hanky hem dress for my daughter which is now sitting in a box destined to remain a ufo simple because the pattern doesn't give any clear assembly instructions Lollybagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471549134677266466noreply@blogger.com
