Elona said... Really cute! But I certainly agree about the criticisms: McCall's seems to have good concepts, but then they screw them up with really clumsy construction. And they're always huge! 2/2/06 9:23 PM

Sew4Fun said... I think we have all had similar experiences with sizing and silly construction techniques. Stick with Ottobre & Kwik Sew. I love the outfit though and the fishy. 2/2/06 10:18 PM

kwpanthermom said... I think this is adorable and I LOVE that you chose such a great color! I have made those little baby hats from the Big Four patterns and they all seem to run REALLY big. Fortunately it's easy enough to sew larger seams to make them smaller! 2/3/06 10:36 AM

khurtdvm said... I love the fishy! And I've had similar problems with the Big 3 patterns for babies and small children - the sizing is ridiculous! 2/3/06 5:16 PM
Hilary said... Too bad this didn't work out for you-the pics sure look cute! The fish is particularly precious-great job! I have made a lot of baby clothes, and by far the best fitalways comes from Kwik Sew-the sizes seem much more accurate and similar to RTW. Good luck with the Ottobre magazine, and the baby of course :o) 2/3/06 9:11 PM
