Making ski wear
The problem: One very round 6 year old daughter who is desperate to go on a
skiing holiday... but we cant find any readymade trousers/salopettes to fit her. Can anyone point me to web sites where I could get the advice/patterns/materials necessary to make her some salopettes. I have no experience whatsoever in making outdoor/waterproof wear..is it significantly more demanding than making a basic pair of trousers? Thanks Karen |

Thanks Karen Not sure where you are located... this site here lists all known (world) shops that sell outdoors fabrics and patterns. http://www.specialtyoutdoors.com/sources.htm I'm pretty sure that Green Pepper and Kwik Sew and probably others have a kid's "bib" snowpants, which is what we call them in the USA. Some sewing tips (basic) for outdoors gear here http://www.specialtyoutdoors.com/tips.htm The Textile Outfitters site/catalog probably has the best selection. Sewing this stuff usually isn't rocket science, if you have a good grasp of the basics.
