It looks rather simple to sew, and easy to modify the length on if necessary. I had one question - did you find the gussett really necessary? I'm afraid making the sack too baggy it'll wrap around his bar too much like a loose blanket. Oops, make that 2 questions: There is a little rectangle shaped piece marked J & K - not sure where that fits in. Otherwise, you did an excellent job on reproducing it! s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 The piece marked J, K is on the bottom corner. It fits with the piece marked K, L that is funny shaped (has the little sliver going up off the rectangle) It ended up this way because I couldn't fit it on the paper any other way. Those two pieces just finish out the bottom length of the sack. As for the gusset. I had a sack that I tried to put my son in, it had the bottom insert but no gussets. His shoes fit in barely, if you pulled hard. So I added the gusset. I don't find it being too loose, it is " roomy " . My little guy doesn't seem to get mixed up in it, but he is only eight months and doesn't move much. I could have just added extra width, I just thought the gusset would give a better shape to the sack and the first time I altered the pattern I didn't really know how much width to add-I just was flying by the seat of my pants. You could sew it without the gusset-obviously don't cut the slit and you would probably have to decrease the size of the bottom insert. If you didn't like that you could unpick, cut the gusset line and do it the other way. Please let me know how it turns out and how the fit is. Any other input would be great. If everyone has a suggestion, then maybe we will get it right one of these day.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 So you added the gusett, ok, that makes sense then. I'll start out with the full pattern - he's nearly done with the sack for this winter but hopefully this one will still fit him next winter when he's larger. I may make a summer sack too. s.
