Deepika, this is SO cute! You did a great job!

Nice job, Deepika. I love this book, too. I've made a couple of things for O that have turned out great. I like the red sweatshirt fleece, too -- it looks toasty warm. :)

Deepika, this is just darling. And you did it so quickly! Looks great.

deepika, i used the same pattern to make up a suit out of a floral velour -- looked great, too! actually the velour was leftover from a top i made for me. since i used non-kiddo fabric, it made the outfit look very upscale. nice results for scraps!

How adorable! The KS Sewing For Babies/Toddlers/Children books are a great resource. Glad you figured out how to remove snaps! :-)

Deepika, This is cute and I love the dot com tips. Know what you mean about the baby patterns. I have twin granddaughters I sew for and find this happens often. Now I keep their measurements handy and work by them. That does remove the element of surprise, though.

Thanks for credit for the pressing tip. Did she say where they were loose? Old baby patterns have more ease in the diaper area as cloth diapers with plastic pants are bulkier than disposibles, which seem to get thinner, but more assorbent all the time.

Adorable baby, btw. Looks like a doll!

That's adorable! My guess is that the bottom is just a size too big. I guess babies have the same problems as us. We're different sizes on top and bottom. That and the diaper sizing that Rennie mentions probably is a factor.

Rennie, she said that the crotch of the pants actually reached the bottom of her legs... so its HUGE!! Dale, so you think I should use one size smaller for pants?

I have found that baby and toddler jogging pants patterns vary a lot in width, even between different Kwik Sew patterns. Since you nwo know that this one is loose, you can narrow it down, or use a smaller size, but lengthen it.

I always thought baby pant patterns ran huge - I think Rennie is right in assuming that it's partially the diaper-factor. The diapers are getting thinner every day! Now that you know, you can go down a size or two for the next pair. Once you get your new serger you can whip her up a new pair in about 10 minutes!

Deepika, I made the sweatpants from the KS baby book for my son in a size XL last winter. This winter I cut out the size T1 in the toddler book. The only difference in the two patterns was the crotch measurement--it is 2 1/2 inches longer on the baby pants. Both patterns have a diaper allowance. I think the toddler pattern is just drafted better.

Diapers were bulky when this book was published, so the bottoms in this book are sized to fit the bulkier diapers of yesterday, not the trim disposables available today.

Good to know that these patterns are sized for washable nappies - we're planning on using washables as we pay for garbage disposal by volume!

I saw this review pop up on the right side of the screen as I was surfing PR. I thought it was my review at first because we practically sewed the same outfit with the same colors. Wow, that's weird. You did a great job and baby looks so cute in her outfit.
