Hi @willknitformath I would think you have safely got enough fabric for the size 3T depending on how much length you add.

There was a gorgeous multi fabric Jumprope made a few years back, I will see if I can find it in the pool.

For me, I would consider a white collar and placket to complement the different fabrics.
It will eliminate pattern…[Read more]

The briars are for Imogen @WithloveHeidi. I do not foresee ever fitting into this size range again, or at least not for the foreseeable future. The neck seems to be very big for some reason and they look really long, even though I didn’t cut the cropped version to check for length. I will send it down to her to try on with the other Tania culottes…[Read more]

Are the Briar tops for you or Imogen? I’ve been looking at the pattern and wondering if it would suit me (tall, short waisted, pear shaped) now I’m in the size range. Maybe made from a very drapey fabric.
I made myself a Jalie polo top. I am very impressed with Jalie’s placket. Not the fantastic Oliver and S instructions, but I got a very nicely…[Read more]

I feel a bit lonely, talking to myself….

I have a small pile of white based things I am working through today. Being the first chance of actually getting to the machine in weeks – this is most unusual!

White things consisting of, the pants part of a teaparty playsuit, a white dotted voile hide and seek tunic, two Briar t shirts (Megan Nielsen…[Read more]

@magonomics did it work out well? I was having a look at the latest buterfly top and noticed I accidentally puckered it while sewing the facing down. I usually like to hamdstitch the facing. It seems to have a much better result for some reason.

i’m ironing mine within an inch of it’s life and sewing it by hand. so far so good!

The only underwear I’ve made are those that go inside swim shorts. Courtesy of Jalie who I think have exceptional swimwear patterns (but then I haven’t tried others so…) i would think their underwear patterns would be very straight forward.

Oh good! May you show us?

Finished the dress finally.

Thank you!

i don’t make underwear (yet!) but i have had these same thoughts when i find nice jersey or cotton prints. But I do sew quite a few stretchy things for my daughter who dances, and plan on making a few swim things for use this summer. I’ve used Jalie and their patterns are well-designed, and come in a very wide size range for the price; don’t…[Read more]
