It goes up to size 86 which is a size 2T. I was planning to use the 86 and blow it up to the bear cub's current size, but I couldn't find either the magazine or the pattern sheet. So I had to improvise. I used a boys's sweatshirt with raglan sleeves that started at size 98 from Ottober 4/2010 for the length of the shirt and sleeves and estimated the size and shape of the pieces.
Here is Darth Monkey modeling the sweater. Please ignore the dishes behind her that need to put away and may or may not have needed to be put away for quite some time.
My MIL bought the pink sweater fabric at Hancock's last week and she also bought it in purple and green so I will be making more assuming that this fits the bear cub well. Based on the fit on Darth Monkey, I imagine that I might have to shorted all the pieces, but either way the bear cub will be wearing this one tomorrow since it is supposed to be close to freezing tomorrow and for us this means very cold.
Adorable ! You are inspiring me to sew more for my g-niece & nephew. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Really, I'm not sure how much kids clothing I would make if my oldest didn't want all dresses and my middle didn't have Down syndrome and need special made clothing. I will say that I'm especially fond of the Ottobre kids patterns.
DeleteSmashing job. That is a really cute top.Darth Monkey looks adorable in it. Have you ever sewn anything from Ottobre Woman? I have just bought three back copies. Ottobre children's patterns are lovely. We have been hearing about the bad weather forecasts for the US over here. That sounds like an awful lot of snow. Wishing you and your family a safe and warm time. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I can think of is the panties, but I think I might have made some more and I just can't remember right now. I know I've traced a number. I know I really want to make some in the most recent issue (5-2015) and am thinking that I'll use the scuba knit I bought.
