I've been picking them up and making them here and there since high school. I love the look and the uniqueness of vintage...but I swear everytime I make something it doesn't fit right. Adult or kid. Even with the measurements. I don't have such problems with more modern patterns.
The latest was a pair of overalls for DS. It says it goes up to 32 pounds and he's 27 pounds now. Followed everything and the torso is too short. Which confused me that it would be tight, as DS is potty trained and was wearing underwear. You'd think older clothes would fit over cloth diapers. Thankfully, it was fixable...but I swear this happens for most every old pattern I've done.
Tell me, am I the problem or does anyone else have similar experiences?
