I made my girlfriend (that's what I call the munchkin) the swing smock from Bend The Rules and copied the pattern at 160 percent to make it smaller. This was easy and fun to make. The only thing that gave me fit was putting on the bias tape around the arms. I made the tape 1/4 inch wide - I should have made it a little wider. It was temperamental ... nothing to with me at all ... ahehm ;-)
I had actually started to make bloomers to match out of the blue gingham but again ... tiny seams and I do not get along. If I am flooded with patients and delicate fingers I might give it a go again ... since the prospect of that is limited next to none ... a smock it is ~ Happy birthday girlfriend!
