Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
***Bumping this up. A post I made before. I really want to make my son some camp shirts. Can anyone help me? Pretty please!? ***********
Anyone ever alter the patterns from the KS book?
I tried to make my son flannel jammies from the XS jacket/woven pattern and the neck was gaping huge! I'm scared to try again. I've made them from the KSFC book just fine. What did I do wrong? Should I just break down and buy the stinking separate pattern?

I am also interested in an easy boy's camp shirt pattern. (Emphasis on it being really easy!) Didn't someone talk about a camp shirt pattern that was easier than KS, with fewer pattern pieces/facings? I usually like KS, and would plan to use that one, but would love it if there was an easier one out there.
I can't remember who, but someone did a really nice one with KS3146 the other day, and said it was pretty easy. I remember being really impressed with the shirt.

I just checked out KS3146 and it's a toddler pattern. I need more of a 5/6/7 size. I'll try the one Kristi mentioned -- I think I already have it. But I was trying to avoid facings...I'm such a facings wimp.

Tara, if you look on KS website, 3079 is T1-T4, I did find that KS 2951 looks like a good one, it's size 4-12.

I did a campshirt out of Ottobre for Lukes Easter outfit and it was the easiest I have done. I had another pattern but it seemed like the collar pattern just didnt fit right and the sleeves were huge - I dont quite remember what it was though.

Jenn,
Do you know what issue of Ottobre that is? I've been really wanting to try out an Ottobre pattern before getting a sub. Maybe I can hunt that issue down on eBay and try it!
Tara, it might have been me- I just did a few for Ty with an Ottobre pattern, it was sooooo soooo easy- front, back, collar, sleeves. Went together really really fast!.
