Do you have any bigger pictures of the outfits? These look so cute but I'm having a hard time seeing the details. That is so clever to make the a-line and easy fits into a Jon Jon! I would love more pictures to see just how you did that![/QUOTE]
Sorry my pics turn out small Theresa. I use iPhoto and Photobucket and that's what size they turn out.
I took some more pics for you, but now they look too dark, sorry, here goes:
I made the pattern pieces from the A-line and free-handed the bottoms, taking in the sides a bit.
I didn't take pics in the process, so bear with me here. I joined the two back panel halves from neckline to crotch. Then, with right-sides facing, I stitched together the tops and sides (just like the A-line, but you can stitch both sides rather in the beginning rather than save one for the end. I then separated the layers (think mirror image pants like in Carla's reversible easy fits tutorial on her blog). Then I did the crotch seam for each individual "bottom." I turned it right side out by turning through one leg hole, and finished the leg hems by topstitching over a 1/2 inch inverted fold. Clear as mud? Sorry, I've never made a tutorial.
Crotch shots--showing butt room for diaper-wearing!
Close-up of top--I super-sewed on those buttons--don't want choking hazards!
Reverse side. Pardon me for not taking the time to unbutton and rebutton.
Close-up of leg hem finishing. I finished the baby girl bloomers the same way, but made a casing for elastic.
Better pic of the baby girl set. Sorry about the previous ones, I shouldn't have used a white background and flash--too washed out.
Since I was talking about my Gramma--here's a pic of her 1975 Singer stylist that I use. It's great, no problems at all, and since it's all metal, probably better quality than today's plastic. And this is me at age 4 wearing a Dutch girl costume she made me using this machine.
