this is a good article vicki ..I've made many togs for my girls over the years (& even some for myself when preggy!)..and have probably followed these tips without even realizing it..the one about the fabric stretching without rolling & returning to it's original lenght is so logical & so very very true!..no saggy baggy bottoms were allowed on my girls togs hahaha
Solo Mum to one. Proud fabric hoarder. I have quite a large stash of fabrics bought over the years as well as too many patterns to counts and huge boxes of trims, motifs, elastics and accessories of all kinds. I first learnt the basic of sewing at intermediate school but it wasnt till my daughter was about 2 that I really began sewing. The first thing I made was a pink polar fleece sweatshirt for her and I have barely stopped since. I'm not a very technical sewer, I dont know much about the finer points of tailoring or adjusting patterns. Often I dont even know the correct terminology but most of the time my clothes and bags turn out ok and I think my sewing skills are getting better with everything I make.
