You've all seen the pictures of my willing model, Dylan, and the inspiration for SweetBottom sewing. Last Friday evening, I attempted to squeeze my sweet little 24 pound 9 month old butterball into a cute seersucker embroidered Jon Jon. Let's just say, it was akin to trying to shove a king size pillow into a standard size pillow sham. Neither of us enjoyed the experience but it got me thinking......I can sew - make my own "husky" sized cotton dress John Jons and Long All's.
For those of you who don't know what these are, they are wardrobe stable for any little southern boy. Crisp cotton, gingham, seersucker summer fabrics or corduroy for the winter, these comfortable sleeveless outfits are a classic. But they don't come in husky sizes! I have always felt that adding Jon Jon / Long All offerings to my customers was essential for my online business. In due time! However, in my research for wholesale blank distributors, I have not been able to find a company that can provide these with a little "extra room" in the midsection. Check back often to see my progress. If you know of any one who might need something like this , send em' my way.
Such a GREAT idea!!! where did you add the extra room? sides or front??
ReplyDeleteI tried both ways. The front makes it lay kinda funny in the crotch area. Adding extra tothe side seams made a big difference for my little butterball.
