@katybellabug Brittney’s playtime fox dress would be perfect and it looks simple and straight forward. They didn’t give you heaps of time! But then maybe they think you have a magic sewing wand (like people here think I have)! Hope you can get it done. I don’t know what the hood looks like so in my point of view the fox playtime looks the…[Read more]

Also, keep an eye on your pocketbook. Buttons add up 🙂

Sarvi replied to the topic Tips for fabric shopping in New York in the forum off topic 10 years ago
You know, I’m afraid I actually wound up not doing any fabric shopping, as I was there for only a very short time, so I tried to only see/do/eat things I couldn’t get at home or online. I did pop into Purl Soho because it was close to something else I wanted to visit, and I did go to the wonderfully-named Tender Buttons, which I very highly…[Read more]

You know you’ve been sewing O+s too long when you can eyeball half an inch. Exactly.

Sarvi, i’m interested in how your trip went, and where you’d recommend, especially as it sounds like you already have a lot of choice on your doorstep.

Oh, and that cute fabric is called Brambleberry Ridge.

I just wanted to let everyone know I was able to use woven fabric for part of the Hopscotch top! This opens up a lot of possible fabric combinations. I thought it might work, and sure enough, I replaced the front with woven fabric and it worked.

I am just finished with the scallops on the Badminton skort. I made up a pair of the shorts on their own with a ‘slash and spread’ adjustment and have just checked the fit, which is wonderful! So I can safely cut out another pair to go under the skirt and complete my skort.

Sew Alongs 10 years agoHere’s mine! Nice easy make in a beautiful Japanese quilting cotton, purchased a couple of years before my 4 year old was born (oops…)
Made size 5 which was a bit big, but shortening the length and elastic worked a treat. -

Sarvi replied to the topic Hey, what's wrong here? in the forum about the forums 10 years ago
Hi @admin — I’m terribly sorry but I’m afraid I’m not able to recall what I was using at the time. I feel it *should* be in Chrome on my MacBook but I’m not seeing it any longer. I can give you version numbers and a screencap of what I see now, if you like.

admin replied to the topic Hey, what's wrong here? in the forum about the forums 10 years ago
As @justmejay and others have mentioned, I agree that the @mention thing is kind of weird and doesn’t work how you might expect. Sadly, I don’t think I can fix this easily since it’s a deeper level issue in our forums software. However, I have made a tweak that makes the autocomplete of @mentions work in the reply box, which should help to some…[Read more]

I am bringing this thread back from the semi-dead.
@Sarvi: In this comment do you know what device and/or browser you see that issue with? I’ve been trying to figure out under what conditions that happens.
