This make seems so far away. I finished it in December last year and in the interim went to Ireland and an Irish university for what I thought would be a 6 month sabbatical to network, catch up on research and spend as much time as possible with my family. Instead things changed significantly and we're back home in New Zealand in lockdown. Its ANZAC weekend and I finally finished some of my sewing projects since we got back (it forever to take out the coverstitch machine!). I started uploading photos to dropbox today to write the blog posts and found these photos - I think my plan was to document the makes in Ireland and reignite this blog!
Anyways, this was a fun make with fabric from Vinnies ReSew fabric sale last year. I think I have a bit of it left. I used Kam snaps from Green Beans (and my Kam Snap press) to finish the sides and straps. Its rather a light fabric so summer use only - just as well as its difficult for my little person to get off by themselves which doesn't lend itself to self toileting!
Rather pleased with my pattern matching! Deliberately offset the pocket for colour so it was more visible but I"m not sure it really worked!
What'd you think?
The pattern was MaCall's M6592 and I made size 3.
Would I make it again? Perhaps but I'll wait until toileting is easier and make sure to use buttons as the snaps can be quite hard to open for small fingers.
