Hi Connie @totter2, if you are doing view b then the interfacting is not required. If you are doing view a (the bodysuit) then the interfacing goes on the crotch area.

I hope this answers your question.

Hi all, I read the errata but still cannot see where and when to add interfacing in front placket?? Any idea?

would also like to add to those whose boys are growing out of the o+S sizes… would appreciate direction for jacket/blazer/layering options for tweens and teens unisex/all genders — i guess fba’s as well as adjustments for wider arms for guys.

I’m working my magic with fabric,
Of a colour described as “dab brick”
It’s not easy to sew
So I’m taking it slow
Afterall, it is only cambric!

(Sorry @lightningmcstitch I felt compelled to challenge everyone unnecessarily😀)

I’ve just made a long journey home

(A bit easier for you I hope)

Never mind! Solved my own problem. My HP printer doesn’t offer “None” as a print scaling option. The default setting on the print dialogue is “Actual size” which is what I was using. By setting the print scale to 100% on the “Custom scale,” the pattern printed at the proper size.

I am having the same difficulty as JHyden. The test square prints at 7/8″ no matter what I do. Do you have any suggestions? I’ve checked and the print scaling shouldn’t be a problem.

Geez Tamara (@justsewit) not an easy rhyme!! 🙂

The wintry sun is still shining
After rain that has had the gauge climbing
But the wind is so cold!
If I weren’t so old
Then I’d be outside wining and dining!

Adorable! This topic reminds me of Brooke’s memory jar. Reading your posts feels like looking through all the saved scraps:

My little one has started using my fabric stash to play shops with. Today she was the customer and was “buying” some fabric and said “now I’ll take it home to wash it first” it’s amazing all the things they pick up on.

I just took my kids out to my parents in the country for a couple of nights while it’s school holidays and we’re working.
The five year old was busy all morning writing notes and letters for her grandparents to give them when she got there. All notes started with “dear grand… and grand…” And finished with “love from A… by A…”
In the middle…[Read more]

Very cute Fee.

I am deep in the depths of sequins, tulle and satin… formal dress sewing. It is going surprisingly well and I am enjoying it.

I did take a break (dress requires fitting and daughter is on work experience at a wild life park) so I made a sneaky School Bus tee for Tildy from some gorgeous Merino knit. I added little elbow patches…[Read more]

Brilliant, I love a good up-cycle and that is a very good one.
