FAIL!
I don't even know if I can begin to list all the things that went wrong with these bibs, fit-wise. First, the inseam was way too short, so the things road up like mad, giving Noelle a super attractive crotch-V. The back is elasticized, but the elastic needed to hit higher, so it kept creeping up, further enhancing the short inseam and adding the lovely touch of no-stay straps. Oh, and shall we mention the floods? Yeah. These were meant to be full-length pants. Ha!
I thought about trying to fix them, but then I decided that I would just start over, since I was still set on creating a tutorial.
Try #2 is way cuter. See?
You probably want to click on that image to see it in its full-size cuteness.I took pictures for a tutorial for that one, too... but then I had to make some last minute alterations. I'm pretty sure the third time will be the charm, so prepare yourself for a third pair of bibs... this time, ones that fit perfectly, the first time. :)
Thanks for sharing that! It's kind of comforting to know that even experienced sewers can have these problems. Try #2 is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! The first was such a miserable failure that it's a good thing my second attempt worked out! I would have started to question my sewing AND measuring skills! Ha! I mean, seriously, how many times should I have to measure a toddler's torso?! I'm excited for the third pair and tutorial!
DeleteI think it's great to see someone so good at sewing having the issues that us normal people have. I love that you tried again. I usually give up after the first time...Well Done! They are really adorable!
