thats what I was thinking and I have gone to the L pattern. I know the seam allowance is .5cm but I cant seem to sew like that

Thanks ladies
I just used the free pattern off the Greenbeans website. Once I finally got my head around it, it was easy to sew. Hardest thing was to find the time LOL! ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

I just used the S/M for Laurens aswell and there is heaps of room left for her to grow and she is 8.1kg! I do try to sew as close to the edge as possible to ensure it will fit for a while though! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
