Sew Alongs 10 years agoI have sewn up a quick muslin.
I am on the petite size. If I want to take the length up an inch or two, am I better off doing so at the lengthen/shorten line? My initial marking on my muslin would seem to indicate that is the case.
I have a lovely Italian Merino wool double face knit and really want to have the bugs worked out before I cut my…[Read more]

@with-love-heidi it looks fantastic! I especially love that close fit at the chest – no slipping or gaping! This has definitely landed the pattern on my wish list. Even at my thinnest I am in the smallest size, right now I’d need to go up, so it seems a good investment.

Soooo. . . . it is going to take me longer than 3 days. I had a heck of a time flat felling the shoulders/neck – but I finally succeeded. Definitely baste first (and if you can stand it, use a different, easy to see, thread color so it is easier to remove later). I still have to attach the sleeves and h…[Read more]

Hello fellow sewists,
Somehow I’ve lost my pattern piece 5 for the size 6mos-4. Could someone please provide these measurements for me? Thank you in advance! 🙂

Yes, it’s her first pattern. She’s specifically designing for curves, larger busts and larger sizes. It works well on my (proportionlly) short waisted pear shape, better with the waist ties at the back than the front. So nice to make only one pattern adjustment rather than lots!
Tamara, it would also be nursing friendly 🙂 -

I’ve got some in process photos of the Appleton Dress.
Notes: I’m 6’2″, Pear shape with a large bust, HB 39″ B 44″, W36″, H48″. This is a straight size 18 C/D. I added 4″ to the bodice between the armhole and the waist and I adjusted the neck band to fit the new neckline.
The dress is unhemed and still has the stabiliser I was using on the…[Read more] -
