For the record, I encountered the same issue with neck facing in size 3T. I have triple-checked that the button placket folds are exactly as they should be (fold in 1/2″, press, fold 1″, press). Likewise, my pintucks are are precise. And, I know I cut out the correct size pattern pieces. Eye-balling the size of the dress back, it looks like the…[Read more]

I have just about finished a blue linen every day skirt. I used the elastic for something else and only have enough for one row, so just need to get a bit more to finish the second row. I’m not entirely convinced it’s ‘me’, I need some time to myself in front of a mirror to try styling it etc.

Has anyone come across a fitted LINED pencil skirt…[Read more]

Maggie, I’m sorry to hear that. Nuts that they took the flannel as well as the more ‘normal’ items to steal. I hope you feel OK about it and it hasn’t been too traumatic.

I am going to go back up my pictures (and pdf patterns!!) now.

Robbers Took My Oliver + S Sewing!

Last week I came home to find we had been burglarized. Luckily no one was hurt, the cat didn’t get out, and we have insurance.

However just about all our electronics were gone, along with some of my jewelry (luckily nothing of sentimental value like my grandmothers pearls), and they had totally destroyed the…[Read more]

Heidi she was using the teacher’s and the parent’s phone to contact me. Apparently they were sharing what they are getting up to on Facebook also. No they specifically said that no mobile phones are allowed because it was such an issue last year. The teachers had to make sure they were looked after. So this year only the adults have them.

I’m really pleased your husband is making some progress, that’s great news.

8 Weeks and 4 update queries/complaints later it’s finally acknowledged that my fairly sizable Mood fabrics order is ‘lost in transit’. The previous order they sent me $90 of neoprene that was someone else’s order. Not very impressed and mostly frustrated that the boucle…[Read more]

I really like the tulle overlay skirt. Although the idea of a black and white polka dot dress sounds pretty good too 🙂

The coverstitch machine should be a lot of fun.
Tomorrow, I’m surprised there they have access to mobile phones! The last high school camp I went on in Feb all the mobile phone confiscated on the first day and only given back once a day 🙂

Oh that sounds like a wonderful toy to keep you sewing with Masha! I am so glad your hubby is home. I have been thinking of you over there and wondering how you have been coping. The doctors appointments will get fewer as improves I am sure but of course right now they are very relevant and required.

I did join now and it says something about the group being searchable but members and posts are only visible to members. Or something to that effect.

Thanks!

@justsewit yeah, Tamara, I’m more of a Facebook reader than poster – I do belong to several sewing groups…some informative, some drama (which I then leave). A good way to learn new…[Read more]
