So I have always avoided using paterns because a) I'm really bad at following instructions and b) they always use sewing jargon that I don't understand. But since my last pattern attempt things have changed...welcome to the world of digital patterns! You pay, download and print. Even more exciting is that they have step by step instructions with colour photos. As I said I'm seriously bad at following instructions because I'm super impatient and prefer to figure things out myself. Consequently things don't always go right the first time, which is why my darling partner printed 2 copies, knowing I would inevitably stuff the first one up. So here goes...
Cute pattern right! First step cut out pieces.
No wait...go back and read instructions. Join bits together by overlapping the numbers. Lucky I got two!
Tape bits together. Now cut out the size pattern you need (6-9 months for miss long body).
Lay out on fabric and cut. Again follow instructions about where the grain line should go (this is news to me). Just need to use my newly sharpened scissors to cut it all out. So much easier than folding out all the little thin paper bits like the old patterns. Also you can save the file and print again when you need the next size! Genius. Unfortunately I have to wait until my machine gets serviced before I can whip this little beauty up. Up to 2 weeks wait! Sigh.
