I have the one sold in the O+S store, I use it all the time.
Nicole replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

I finished my sons blazer, finally. It was a big sew. I now know why Liesl is not keen to make a kiddy size pattern…

Next, jeans for me!
Nicole replied to the topic Baptism Gown in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

I love a shorter gown with matching knickers. Simple batiste with maybe some pin tucking?
Nicole replied to the topic sugestions for sewing machines in the forum off topic 9 years ago

@rebecca, it is much faster then a household machine and far more powerful.
It will sew a buttonhole on anything, even canvas (I am talking about tarp canvas).

It has a range of stitches, just like a domestic one.

I adore it.

First in the new series of GBSB and one of the contestants was wearing a cinema dress. I am such a geek for spotting it! Next week is children’s sewing week.

@motherof5 I think you have the Bernina 950? I’m considering to buy one that is used; I already have a Bernina active 125 (15 years old, household Bernina). I just want something *faster*, but not super interested in an industrial straight-stitch only. I like the Bernina semi-industrial, because it still has zig zag!

Do you have a household…[Read more]

I received the very same message as well. I was wondering if it was spam.

Wow @justsewit, that’s a lot of info for me to take in! Thank you!

@Reeni Yes, it will be Spring, but Brisbane will be quite warm already (one year we visited in August, and I didn’t take any short sleeve clothes… Silly me had to go shopping!)

I’ve been looking too – wondering about this kit…[Read more]
Reeni replied to the topic inspiration for First communion dress? in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

Tamara, thankfully in 2nd grade they only compare how well their dresses spin! 😀
I do remember for my own first communion in Catholic school we had a uniform — a very sweet empire-waist puff sleeve affair in voile.
How old is your girl for confirmation — is it 7th or 8th grade? At that time (even more so than others) they grow like weeds and…[Read more]

Are you referring to the one we already carry?

I’m wondering, if Liesl might stock it in her shop if there was enough interest? The last link looked really great a d I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on some decent see throug rulers. And also the grid paper that is used for pattern making. It might help with the many many alterations I have to do.

Thanks, y’all! I am genuinely surprised how hard it is to find! I found this one: http://www.fashion-school.com.au/products/pattern-makinggrading-ruler/ , in case anyone else is on the hunt. I do love the combo inches/metric option — thanks for all the suggestions!!
Todd Gibson replied to the topic Spammer? in the forum off topic 9 years ago

Yes, that was the message that was sent to several members here on the forums. Sorry, again, for the inconvenience.
Tamara replied to the topic Baptism Gown in the forum Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 9 years ago

@jay_1965vw that gown is gorgeous! Now I have to beg the question. Do you want to go heirloom-y and have one just for Dot or are you after something more simple to “get the job done”. Do you want embroidery, smocking etc?

I would do a natural fibre, even though I am not really familiar with Queensland weather in September but I can imagine that…[Read more]
