Plus, the process will go much faster because you can stitch and finish your seams in one step. :) <br />If you prefer to use your sewing machine, look for the stretch stitch (a.k.a. lighting bolt stitch) or a 3-step zig-zag. A regular zig-zag stitch will work as well, as it will add elasticity to your seams.

If you are doing the mini or maxi versions, you will be able to cut the skirt at the length you desire for a perfect fit. If you're doing the hi-low version, you can do as above and cut the 4T for width and 7 or 8/9 for length. Hope this helps.

Her height is about 120 cm but her chest widht is only 53 cm (about 21 inches). It says to cut the pattern according to the height of the child, but I'm afraid it is going to be to large at the upper body. What are your suggestions? Thanks for your help, Melanie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
