Yes, that is my almost-7-year-old in firetruck jammies. Why you ask? Because they were meant for my 3yo, who is much disappointed that his firetruck fabric he loved is now walking around on his brother. This pattern ran HUGE. Noah was sleeping and I eyeballed it for him. The top did look kinda wide and short ... so I did a size 3 and lengthened it 2-1/2 inches. Good thing too or this outfit wouldn't have fit anyone. The top is a little big on Noah but pretty good. The pants, however, also a size 3 pattern, had a good 4 inches of excess length, and my little 3yo is tall for his age, wearing usually size 4. Zach wears a size 6 extra slim and here you see him modeling the size 3 jammies with a little extra length in the top. Buyer beware if you are making this pattern. Yowza, take good flat pattern measurements before you cut. And, learn from me, don't make it while your child is asleep and you can't take some measurements .... unless you have a bigger kid as backup for them if they don't fit!

All of the things you make are just awesome, big or otherwise! These pjs are definitely cost efficient because the little one and grow into them, so sorta 2 for 1. I love the dress with the flower applique! Thanks for visiting my blog! Good Luck with the giveaways!

ReplyDeleteI had to laugh because I've done the "eyeball the kid while they're sleeping" thing, too. Doesn't work too well for me, anyway!
