This is the first day I’ve felt up to sewing 🙂 I drafted Anna’s coronation skirt a few days before Christmas and cut out two thirds of the pieces. Now to cut the last 20 pieces and to get onto sewing.
P.S. The skirt will be made up of about 50 pieces, excluding the badminton waistband I’m going to add. I’m making a 10 panel skirt!

I finished the skirt! It came out so nice! Love it. 🙂

either one, I’m easy! 😀

The only time I truly saw my parents fight is when my mom found my dad cutting linoleum floor tile with her good scissors. (As kids we knew using the sewing scissors would be punishable by no less than death.)

Oh, hang on @reeni, do you mean wool fabric for sewing, or wool yarn for knitting?

Done!

oh dear, I don’t know, maybe some Aussie wool? My littles are 11 and 7 but small for their age… PM me your address!

Woo hoo, it is not a blazer but may satisfy those yearning for one….

I remember that style jacket being very popular in the 70’s.They were often fastened with a frog closure.
Would that work for you?

Or you could finish the edge and then baste an open end zipper under the front edge and then topstitch in place?

I hope that is some help?

Absolutely @reeni !
I’m so bored of sewing navy pants and my seven and a half year old is fast outgrowing his current ones.
I’d love to give them a home and a new schoolyard!
Name your exchange….

I love this skirt too! Especially on little girls with their cute toddler swagger😀 It’s an absolute keeper of a pattern for sure.

Bahahaha😂

Bahahaha😂

does anyone have use for a few pairs of navy pants, sz 8 Sketchbook lengthened into pants with buttonhole elastic and zip fly? One is washable wool with houndstooth pocket linings and the other is cotton twill.
These were (and could still be) uniform pants, no embellishment but reinforced knees.
