What patterns do you use? I tried making one with the Weka pocket pattern off TNN and it didn't turn out well at all. It is as per the pattern but just isn't a good fit on Samantha at all!

There are ones that you can buy, I've tried a few from TNN but didn't love the fit either so made my own. It's really just trial and error to find one that works well.

Thanks Stacey. I really like the fit of her fuzzi's so might adapt a pattern from one of them I think.

The TNN ones all seem to be quite narrow through the crotch area and high in the waist. Sam is only a wee tike so it just doesn't work on her.

Did you check the scale was right? I just printed off the Wee Weka pattern and measured the scale box and it was off by a ml or two, so I think the printer automatically resized the pdf. Grrr. Ah well.

Yeah they are quite high in the rise compared to what they are in the crotch. But then its a free pattern so can't really complain too much! hehe
