It was one of those stupidly baffling sewing tubes things. Should have been as easy as anything. I thought for a moment about looking for an online tute before I started, then thought, nah, how hard could it be…
Famous last words.

Snoods sound like a great idea. Isn’t it nice to be able to make one rather than having to look for one in the shops!
I’m finishing up the trench coat. I’m sewing up the fleece lining I add. then I’ll need to go and get some buttons.
I started a denim/jeans leaders and enders quilt. I’m surprised at how much I’ve got done just putting one or…[Read more]

I find that the display for posting in the forum is still slightly too narrow when viewed on my Nokia Windows phone. I can’t get to the submit button unless I hit return. Like this .

Love the sound of that trench @with-love-heidi.
@jackir the LTTS book is such a treasure trove. Have fun with it.
I just got back from the school run and it is soooooo cold. We ride our bikes and now I’m going to knock up some snoods (neckwarmers) out of leftover bits of polar fleece.

I am sure they will.

Hopefully someone will post details about where and when the samples might be purchased?

I make this for my girl and find I often have a little volume at the top of the sleeve cap (maybe I am stretching it while I sew, or cutting inaccurately) and I like to put in a little pleat or gathers.

(This coming after a two hour search last night for a decent unders pattern). No luck!!!

Ooh!! I vote for underwear garments tooooooo!!

I was just contemplating this last week. I don’t yet own the sketchbook, but was planning to order for daughter. I ordered the music class blouse, as I liked the tucks in the front. Plus, I liked the option of the mandarin collar, AND I the cute skirt comes with it. 🙂

My daughter wears a lot of button-ups!

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies! I hadn’t thought about the buttoning. I wanted to give gathering instead of pleating a shot. I am just so excited she agreed, haha:)
