Your voice is SO soothing. I'm sticking around for a bedtime story.😁

Right?!?

[@momzilla9491]

Thank you for this wonderful idea. When my son, age 15 lost his dad, he made a shrine out of most of his father's things. I had a hard time hanging onto Joe's things, my son probably wouldn't fit them for another 35 years, but I keep all those beautiful dress shirts. Now my son at age 26 is a Dad! LOL Grandpa's shirts are going to find a way after all! Best Book for Children? Something from Nothing!

Wonderful video

Thank you! 😍

[@marieclassine2706]

Thank you for the lovely idea but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with the collar. Do I just leave it as is ?

[@ignaciaperez8721]

Mi amor y lo k no entemos lo k dice como lo hacemos ❤️

[@juliac4442]

How did you finish the seam at the bottom with the lemon piece? Love this tutorial 😀

[@aboderie]

Just a double fold hem, so turn it up about half a cm then another cm, press and top stitch ☺️

[@sarahm4463]

Really great idea! But how did you finish the arms?

[@aboderie]

I did a mini hem but you could also try binding them

[@usahereicome]

Could you show us how to turn a wool sweater into baby jumpsuit?

[@aboderie]

Yes! Lovely idea! Adding it to the list

[@skylarchadwick1645]

@@aboderie Would love to see this as well!

[@aboderie]

@@skylarchadwick1645 Funnily enough I was thinking about this just now and wondering if people would still be interested given we're coming into spring and summer? Shall I share soon even though the weather's getting warmer?

[@skylarchadwick1645]

@@aboderie Absolutely! Us wool fanatics flip these sweaters year-round LOL. No but in all honesty, lots of wool sweaters are very thin and perfectly suited to hot days.

[@shardariajc18]

How did you do the collar? I’m confused on that

[@shardariajc18]

Do you sew it

[@aboderie]

I cut it really close to the line of stitching where the collar folds. That way you don't have to sew it because there's stitching already there! Hope that makes sense!

[@angelahart2064]

Hi when you're making a pattern You need to use something different than a pencil Apartment marker and then everybody would be able to see it

[@aboderie]

Great feedback thank you!

[@gillianpritchard2105]

Can you show the finished products modeled by you children

[@aboderie]

I'm afraid it's very difficult to get a 3 year old to reliably model a garment (as you can probably tell by the shaky shot at the end of the video!), and I am increasingly nervous about sharing my children on here as it's permanent and I don't know who's watching. I do share more pictures of my makes on my children on my Instagram stories so if you'd like to follow there you'll find more fit pictures.
