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!
Prr gators meet Ottobre / What size does your 5 yr old wear?
okay, so not that exciting, but it's my first Ottobre shirt. I started out easy with the raglan shirt from the latest issue. It's serged/topstitched with cotton thread so I can dye it later.
Ds is asleep so we can't try it on, but it seems a little small to me. I made a 116 based on measurements. He also wears 116 in Burda. If you have a 5 yr old, what size does he/she wear in Ottobre patterns?
This was the very last I had of this knit, only enough for a washie left.
Hey, Sonya Great shirt!! (And I love your new sig pic, too ) I usually make a 110 for my 5yo dd, but I could probably make a 98 with added length for her - she's tall and very slender, and I notice that everything I've made in that size is too wide on her, but just long enough. She's 111 cm tall, so I was going by that....but I took everyone's measurements a few days ago and noticed that if I went by her specific measurements, I'd have to piece several different sizes together to get it right, kwim? I'm blabbering now....

That's a cute shirt! It's funny how you sometimes don't notice a pattern until someone does a neat S&S with it. I don't remember seeing that raglan pattern but now that I see your shirt I want to make one :P
My dd is almost 6 and she just recently moved into a 110. I always add at least 1" and sometimes 2" to Ottobre shirts. Even in the magazine, they seem to always fall right at the waistline.

Hannah is in 104, she will be 6 in May. But is short and she has like a 19 1/2in waist. I, like Faith, add inches to the length too though. The shirts are always way too short.
Woohoo! It fits! (sorry Shecki) I added a modeling pic...it's not even too short like I thought it would be. I'm not so sure this would last all summer though, so I may size up next time.
Thanks for sharing your sizing strategies/experiences with me, I appreciate it.
:deep sigh: It's very cute. And that print looks great dyed blue. One of my favorite outfits I ever made was from a scrap of Alligators and some french terry I pieced with it. I think I dyed it cerulean blue, but I'm not 100% positive.
very cute! I love the gators too but your son is adorable!
