And you did it from your stash... good for you!<br />I just made a baby quilt for my neice with nothing but stash fabric too... it has 6 different prints/colors for picot's on the edges of it!<br />Steam is what we've always used for our croupy kids! I remember sitting with my head in a sink when I was a kid with croup!

Gre...Yikes! Scary times - hope she's alright. <br /><br />Great job on this little dress! Love it. Can't believe fitting is required for under 1's !! Geez, I would've done the same and not worried about measuring but seems like there's no escaping it even for the little-uns.Jenavevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210038477356983232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-50841390552611591022009-08-23T15:13:30.536+10:002009-08-23T15:13:30.536+10:00I made that one a few years ago and have never gon...I made that one a few years ago and have never gone back to McCalls (or any of the other major pattern companies) since! That is why I am now a Japanese sewing addict. No matter how beautiful the sewing, no matter how beautiful the fabric - nothing can compensate for a poorly drafted pattern. Burda is Ok sometimes but when you are sewing for kids there is no sense in fitting them - just find some patterns you can trust.<br /><br />I've been through croup several times and cold air, steamy showers, warm liquids always help. It is always worst in the middle of the night.Mommymitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697714102999260557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-63447581586606950552009-08-23T05:23:47.650+10:002009-08-23T05:23:47.650+10:00I hope Anna gets well soon, the babies are adorabl...I hope Anna gets well soon, the babies are adorable when they do not leave us to sleep also.Sewingadictahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01083124271608615951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-23242728367648249292009-08-23T01:55:16.720+10:002009-08-23T01:55:16.720+10:00The red dress is adorable - she will fit in it and...The red dress is adorable - she will fit in it and outgrow it before you know it!!

I had a sizing issue with Simplicity, wrote an email (nicely complaining) and got a free pattern!!!!<br /><br />Since I've discovered Ottobre for kids, I've not had any sizing issues!! Well, the one I had was my fault - I didn't follow the size chart.<br /><br />As for croup, we've been there too! The cool night air thing works good for us, as does sleeping upright in a recliner. (with mommy, who's NOT sleeping! *L*)<br /><br />Hope Anna's all better soon!Naptime Seamstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971159046347608338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-90840031005587703922009-08-22T08:22:48.303+10:002009-08-22T08:22:48.303+10:00Cute red dress!

I second the idea with the cool night air; cuddling and stepping out was usually enough to help and we hardly had to resort to steroids.<br />As for the health system, everyone complains that it's getting worse here in Germany, but if you'reinsured under the public health system your children are, too, and for free, and no medication nor emergency medicine or hospital ever costs a cent. So I guess we're spoiled! <br />Oh, and I looove that red dress. Post pictures when she fits into it, please!Utahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011335110798185030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-60722446473774412122009-08-22T02:03:27.456+10:002009-08-22T02:03:27.456+10:00A doctor to your house at 1:30 am!!!???

OH I can't wait for the US to have an improved health care system!!!!<br /><br />As to the croup - it sounds way worse than it it. A good dose of steam from a hot running shower then a quick step out into the cool night air can work wonders on that seal bark. <br /><br />I love the red dress. It is gorgeous. Sizing for infant and toddler patterns, even children's patterns is so hard to do by age 'cause kids don't come in one size. At six months, my kids were wearing a 2T which is supposed to fit a two year old toddler. Never believe that sizing.Teresa aka MarieSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633130424915637147noreply@blogger.com
