Pajamas for boys

Book:  Children's lockstitch

Fabric:  Various knits from the Fabric Fairy

Sizes:  90, 120, 140, 150 (not included I graded up)

These were quick to sew up but I can't say the pattern was a sure go like most Japanese patterns.  Maybe I should have gone down a size for each child but I found the crotch lengths too long in addition to both the sleeve length and shirt length.  

It may be also I'm used to more fitted knit pajamas, the boys aren't complaining though, in fact I think they found them more comfortable.

Knit Play dresses

Book:  Children's Lockstitch Book, 

Sizes:  100 cm, 110 cm

Fabric:  Marimeko print from The Fabric Fairy

This is actually a combination of styles L2, and L4.  I cut the bodice higher and cut the skirt narrower.  The bodice seems a bit wide so next time I make either style I'll go down a size and add a little length.

Hooded T's for the whole family

Book:  Adult Lockstitch, Children's Lockstitch

Size:  90 cm, 100 cm, 110 cm, 120 cm, 130 cm, 140 cm, women's M

Fabric:  variety of old T-shirts and knit fabric scraps

I especially love the fit of the women's pattern, it's slim but not too fitted.  These are among my children's favorite pieces of clothing - they have begged to wear them even on 90 degree summer days.

knit top

This top runs big.  If you are looking for a fit like the ready-made-clothing, make one size smaller.  

Pillowcase Nightgowns

Book:  Children's Lockstitch style 9

Size:  90 cm & 100 cm

Fabric:  Vintage pillowcases

Other notes:  This is actually a dress pattern and is designed with elastic above the waist.  Since I was using these as nightgowns I let them just fall from the gathered neckline.  This book has seam allowances already included.
