The shirtwaister is my dream dress for my daughter. Just a fantastic mix of vintage /modern styling. I especially like the way the collar sits. The big pattern companies are so frumpy by comparison. I was all set to rush to Liberty in the morning to browse fabrics when I checked pattern details and saw that the pattern only goes up to 8. I don't have the skills to resize for my 10 year old so will have to live knowing that the PERFECT dress has passed me by..
Anyway keep up the amazing, inspiring designs. Really lovely.

I love the new patterns! They would both be cute not just for my 8y/o but my 11y/o would also wear them since they are so tailored. I would love to see these sized for older kids.

Laura,

The pants in the middle outfit are actually from our Sandbox pants pattern which you can view here:

Liesl – Are the pants in the middle outfit included also? I'm always searching for cute little boy patterns, and you always come through!

FYI on oilcloth – I saw some really cute Marrimekko prints here: http://store.txtlart.com/oilcloth.html

Everyone,

For those of you who are interested in doing some fabric shopping before the patterns are released, I've just posted back pattern images (including yardage requirements) in the discussion forums.

Cheers,

Liesl
