@madtownmama Isn’t it great? I’m making another before my daughter outgrows the pattern 🙂

@justsewit I loved the pic of Chloe helping with the tracing! I can’t wait to see your music class outfit – are you doing both blouse and skirt?

I’m going to sew tonight, whoopee!! Going to finish layette trousers which shouldn’t take long, I hope!…[Read more]

I didn’t trace the skirt pattern in the end but I did finish two field trip t shirts. I left the pockets off for these ones and used the coverstitch machine around the neckline just to try it out. The result gives them more of a pullover type look. They are the perfect size so no need to size up just yet.

Next project will be the button up skirt.

Finally got started with the t shirts today after a few non sewing days. I completely mucked up the neckline of the first Jalie raglan t shirt. I do not like the instructions for the binding at. all! Instead for the second one I did it the normal way and gained a much better result. It’s actually wearable and everything is approved by the…[Read more]

I made a body suit from the Lullaby Layette for my new baby niece, who is three weeks old today! I made the 3-6mo size anticipating that she can wear it over the summer (they live in Boston area). This was my first time doing a placket on my own and my first time using the snap setter tool. There is definitely a learning curve for me lol, and I’m…[Read more]

Thank you Liesl. These are the fabrics I am considering:
1. Print
2. Solids: linen, cotton and/or this linen.
I would like them to work as separates too. But I’m pondering whether it might be fun to add a bit of the print or some color blocking on the top with the wine and white linen. I would like to look modern and a little different without…[Read more]

I’d totally wear them together! I think it all depends on the fabrics you choose. But yes, they would absolutely work as a pair. It’s been on my list to sew a matching top and skirt using these two patterns, so if you get to it before I do I hope you’ll post photos! I think they could be cute as separates, but also as a matching set.

I think if you got a good fit of your bust /waist it could look lovely. I am not tall or willowy so avoid too much ‘floatiness’. I did wear the skirt with the Weekend blouse but I had good bust/under bust definition.

This skirt sat really low on me, with looser tops I felt a bit ‘messy in the middle’.
I am not sure I am being much help…sorry.

Thanks Nicole. I too have worn tees with this skirt but I’m looking for something a little fancier and not tucked in, thus the idea of the B6183. Do you think it would work together?

I had hoped it was you! @dubhels2003

I wore my Everyday skirt through out my last pregnancy with a fitted black tee. I quite liked that silhouette.
