I am so pleased Shelley. I have made that size before and it worked so I assumed your fabric must have stretched.

I just need to sew the button hole on Elsa’s blazer and it is done!

Next, a pair of navy Deer and Doe shorts for school.

For the record: If you accidentally trace the size 10 waistband and facing, don’t try and attach it to the size 5 shorts. Doh.
Stuff up resolved.

I finished a hopscotch which was quickly on its way to becoming a UFO. It only lacked for side seams and hemming. So I pounded it out. Girlfriend has 4 hopscotch now. If I made a 5th she’s wear them exclusively I think.

I was in the principal’s office for a check in on the new placement and she said that she saw her in one of those dresses.…[Read more]

Funny this thread should pop up again. I got some funny looks over buying what the gal at the shop thought was way too much yardage for a small project — but it had a directional print, and I was making the pattern for the first time. I managed to make SO many mistakes — from tracing the wrong grain line (so I had the print running sideways), to…[Read more]

Sadly, all my grand January sewing plans are taking backseat to life. My uncle called me around midnight Saturday night to tell me that my grandfather, who raised me a good portion of my life, was doing poorly and the doctors said we had around 48 hours to say goodbye. Sunday, Grandpa did a complete 180 and shocked us all by waking up healthy,…[Read more]

The big navy back to school sewathon was going great guns, but now I’ve had a stuff up.
Somehow, the front waistband of my Class Picnic shorts was too big. My fabric had a bit of stretch, so I made it fit. Doh. Big, sticky out wavy waistband.
It will need to be unpicked, shortened, and reattached.
Tomorrow.
Nit sure where I went wrong. I’m usually…[Read more]

so the good news is Murray has his cast off! The bad news is he has to straighten his arm by the time he goes back to physio (in a little over a week) and if it isn’t then the arm will heal crooked and it will have to be broken and reset and we will have to start all over again. He has another xray in five weeks and hopefully he will be given the…[Read more]
