OT - Request for parents of babies
I will wheck with the parents that are upstairs at this time (our
guests) - they have an 8motnh old daughter. Larisa Kathy wrote: Hi, I know this is an odd request. I am sewing a dress and panties outfit (McCalls 3994, you can see it here http://www.mccallspatterns.com) for my 3 month old granddaughter. However, I'm making it in a larger size, for babies between 16 and 18 lbs. The directions for the panties say to measure a piece of elastic to fit comfortably around the babies thigh, then add a certain amount for overlap. Same for the waist. Needless to say, I can't measure my granddaughter as the size would be too small. So if you have a baby between 16 and 18 lbs, would you please do me a favor and tell me what his or her thigh and waist measurements are? Thanks! Kathy |

There's a way to win this game. Add an inch or so to whatever measurements
you decide for the elastic lengths. Safety pin the elastic together instead of sewing it. Leave the tunnel where the elastic runs open for an inch or so. Send DD a needle and some thread that matches the dress and panties. Then (!) she can adjust the elastic to be perfect and close the tunnel by hand. If DD doesn't know which end of a needle to thread, surely there's a neighbor or friend who would be happy to do this for her and that sweet baby. That pattern is just precious. I know you're having a good time with it. Polly CNYstitcher wrote in message ... I will wheck with the parents that are upstairs at this time (our guests) - they have an 8motnh old daughter.

And the parents of the 8month old measured her (and their 11 month old).
the 8 month old is about 18 pounds...10.5 inches on the thigh, 17.25 inches at the waist. Larisa Joy Quilts wrote: Hi Kathy!
