help with online sewing instructions

Looking at it, that's probably how I'd do it as it's easier with tiny garments to sew as much flat as possible. I'd try to complete everything else, even the buttonholes and the hem, before completing the back seam.

I agree with Kate on sewing as much flat as possible; saves time, and many times is so much easier. Beautiful pattern for a 2-year old. Emily

Thanks for the help and reply Kate.

I guess as an amateur i am motivated to find the simplest way to do a project rather than the quickest.

Thanks for the help and reply Emily.

unfortuneately i am not using that fabric ... yet

I like it; of course blue is one of my favorite colors. You might be surprised how nice it will look all finished and the little girl with will have 2 dresses, different colors & fabrics. Emily

Thanks again for the tips Kate and Emily.

Beautiful job and I'm certain the "Angel" will be so excited to wear it; the older children get, the more they love "Mommy-made" or "Grandma-made" clothes till they're teens and want jeans & tee shirts. Been there, done that, with 3 DDs and 3 DGDs. The 10-year old DGD still likes Grandma to sew for her, but the others stopped years ago. Emily

That is so pretty Robb. You did a great jog. Juno

I don't know what your "real" fabric is, Robb, but it must be stunning if you consider this the practice version. This one is beautiful!

Thanks Juno, I just exercised more patience than usuall. robb

stunning

beautiful!

It was an experiment/accident that worked out in my favor.

The real fabric is suppose to be a fine corduroy (as it is getting colder) with small apples motif. Another possibility is a fall/autum sunflower print on bottom weight cotton.

I have no eye for fabric/color/prints/patterns and the clothes they might make but i like trying.

thanks again robb

Dear Robb,

Your recipient will be delighted with both the "practice" jumper and the "real" one. Lucky girl.
