Also, I finally made some progress on the kids' projects, including a muslin on my daughter's bra top and getting Simon's shirt cut out. As expected, the size 8 (chest 26") had almost eight inches of ease. EIGHT. I know its suppose to be a loose style but that's absurd. Oh, and Simon got a haircut. This was the best photo I could come up with:

In any case, I have lots of photos on the DSLR and more to write about but this will have to suffice for now.
Anyone else have the "Its summer and I don't want to be at work" blues?
I hate modern patterns and their ridiculous amount of ease. Sure, it's best to have more fabric than not enough, but 8 inches just seems to me that they think we can't read tape measures. Or are ridiculously vain.
ReplyDelete*laughs* That's just it! This is from 1949!!! I found there is MORE ease in vintage children's patterns.
