    Three weeks is too long
    on: May 07, 2008, 05:15:52 PM
    Is anyone else finding themselves going ahead on the smock? I'm having a hard time waiting so I started sewing already....! I also altered it to be smaller, I hope it doesn't backfire on me. I'm super short, so I find that "one size fits most" usually turns out to look like I'm dressing up in mommy's clothes.

    Can't wait to see what everyone makes!

      I hear ya! Have you "tried on" the paper to see how long it is? You could trim off some along the long fold line and some from the bottom if it looks like it it is way too big. Mine hits me right at the "beginning of my legs" . I am 5'6...

        It worked! I did "try" it on over and over, I just altered it in so many places I was worried it would backfire on me. I lucked out this time! I

          No .. Sounds like more hard work than luck. that's how all my alterations go... And why I am a firm believer in basting!
