Sarvi replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Heidi I think that would make the problem worse in this case, sounds like too little collar rather than too little neckline. I made the 5 in two very different fabrics (a stable interlock and a soft, floppy wool knit) and the firmer fabric was fine, the softer one had a ton of excess neckline. I put in a big box pleat at the back neck. It’s really…[Read more]

That is worth thinking about! Of course I don’t have any navy rugby knit in stock but might try it out with something else.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

@sahmcolarado would you like to swap weather? I hear it is very wet over your way and here, when it should be wet (and I should be the one making rain ponchos) it is dry as anything (we have our fingers crossed for a big rain expected Wednesday). The rain poncho pdf sounds painful to put together. But I do hope it works out.

Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Invisible zipper in the forum oliver + s: fairy tale 10 years ago

Once you’re happy with the zipper, and you’ve sewn the bottom skirt, you will stitch the extra zipper tape to the skirts seam allowance.
However with that much extra I’d be inclined to shorten the zipper a bit first. You need to handstitch round and round and round the teeth to create a new stopping point. Then cut the zipper an inch or two below…[Read more]

I must be blind! I have 5 inches of extra zipper tape after sewing to the dot. I can’t find on the pattern what to do with this extra length. Thanks for help in directing me to the instructions. I see where it says to leave it hanging for now but not with what to do with it.
Mama_Knowles replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

That is wonderful to hear about the pattern Tamara, I need to look into those myself. Jacob has grown into a small men’s size himself now. He is as tall as me and needs bigger size patterns now. I want to get some of the Thread Theory patterns and try out this fall for him and my husband both.
