You are all being so productive, wow!
I made a flower last night for Audrey to take to school for Teacher Appreciation Day. They asked for each student to bring one flower and they are making ‘eclectic bunches’. Looked like most kids brought real flowers even though they suggested real or paper or…

a nice stiffener for small items like this is thin (1/16″) craft foam… it sews through without a problem and washes fine, especially next to wool. Vilene is water-soluble, but not a problem if not water-washing.

@motherof5 that’s a great idea!

@eboyd83 there’s a lot of discussion about adding length to the tops of shorts in the sailboat forum. Here’s a link that could help http://oliverands.com/community/forums/topic/instructions-to-lengthen-rise

Oh that is a great piece of news. My late parents in law did the same thing when their elder two went to the city to study. Unfortunately it was sold a few years ago so we don’t get to be independent from family anymore.

Excellent, I look forward to seeing yours (and sewing this one up too).

So very excited. We sign on a city flat for our Biggies today.
We had always planned to send out chaps away for years 11+12 but our local school is just so excellent, there was no need. The money we have saved for fees has made a good deposit on the flat.

It is very central and close to good public transport (and University)and a gym plus the…[Read more]

I’ve done so and I think everything is ok, so far.

@sarvi , thank you!

I now have an outer shell finished and bits of lining sewn to vents and I just have to do fabric origami and put it all together.

I have not made this polo but I have made a lot of polos. 😉

Good luck!
