Sarah Schuurmans tested the Papilio pdf pattern for us and decided to get creative. She changed the dress option into a top and skirt (follow to get the tutorial). We asked her to share her tutorial with you. It’s way more easy than you think. You can absolutely do this.
Thank you Sarah!
Adjust pattern pieces.
The front, back, and side panels need to be lengthened. To determine how much to lengthen, use a well-fitting shirt or shirt pattern. Line up the shoulder panels of the pattern and see how much you need to lengthen. Add the length you need at the bottom of all 3 pattern pieces.
You also need to lengthen the sleeve. I used the cuff for this as the length of the sleeves, with cuff the length was perfect for my daughter. I folded the cuff in half and glued it to the sleeve pattern piece. I added an extra 1 cm because I wanted the sleeves to be a bit longer, so she can wear the shirt longer.
Optional: I widened the side a little bit because my daughter still has a baby belly.
On the dress, it falls under the first tier, but of course not with the shirt. To make sure her belly fits well, I widened the side panel a little more.
Cut out all the pattern pieces from the fabric.
