Re: Design 01 Piparminttu jersey pinafore dress
I made this in a 62 (tracing the smallest size, despite the printing error) for my baby when she was about 64 cm long, cut without a seam allowance and then sewed the side seams 5/8" from the edge... so 1.25 inches narrower overall than the pattern intended? And it still layers fine over a t-shirt.
The instructions specify clear elastic tape for gathering the skirt pieces to the front and back yokes, but I just used plain old gathering stitches and it worked fine.
I left off the little false placket piece and buttons because I didn't have anything that matched!
I will make more of these for the coming spring/summer - cute and easy. Though I will probably continue to make them narrower than the design intends.
Here with the pants (design #2 from the same issue), also in size 62:
Here, again with pants, on 65ish cm baby (just shy of four months old), layered over a long-sleeve onesie:
And here on 73ish cm baby (the same baby, eight months later!), the same top/dress. Still works great as a layering piece, though much shorted, obviously:
