How funny! Really, I don't know where the word 'jumper' came from to describe such a thing. Or even the sweatshirt, for that matter!EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-56267677799353377462008-11-02T23:28:00.000-07:002008-11-02T23:28:00.000-07:00I love the idea of the 4 day overdress.

(I just can't bring myself to say 'jumper' - in new zealand a 'jumper' is a woollen jersey or sweatshirt :~)<BR/><BR/>I just sewed my 4 year old an apron/smock thing, that has a back and a front - with ties to tie it around the waist, front and back. But she doesn't like that it's too tight. Looking Organique's dress has given me the idea of just tying the front <I>to</I> the back, rather than wrapping it around her tummy. Brilliant.<BR/><BR/>And the bloomers are too cute!home handymumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03522998955903666562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-76381378829011589252008-11-02T20:14:00.000-07:002008-11-02T20:14:00.000-07:00Annie, mattress-ticking is that kind of stripe.

It's generally red or blue, with a wide stripe bordered by two narrow stripes. I don't know if that explains it well...<BR/><BR/>My favorite way of shopping for patterns with three kids is watching my flyers for sales, then going to simplicity.com or whichever site, browsing there, noting the pattern #s, and when I DO get to the store (three kids in tow) I can go right to the drawer, grab my pattern(s) and go. Much easier than trying to keep kids off the racks while trying to page through a book. :)EllaJachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17937838823211562533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36612182.post-73878708699799660632008-11-02T18:26:00.000-07:002008-11-02T18:26:00.000-07:00That is adorable!

Less washing? You bet! I'm looking for a similar pattern I can use for an apron for my daughter....something that can easily slip on and off. I love the little shirt and bloomers! And the material is sweet. What's mattress-ticking?anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03993158642184311825noreply@blogger.com
