I am so glad you got to sew Masha. We are all thinking of you here.

I finished Zara’s shirt and it looks lovely on her. I fiddled around with the fit, taking it in at the high waist, letting it out over her bottom and taking some fullness from the sleeve.

Next up, a grey linen skort, Simplicity 1370.

I was planning to sew everyday this week but unfortunately my week has been planned out for me and I am less than impressed! It means I probably won’t get to sit at the machine for a decent length of time until Wednesday!

I didn’t get to sew today and it has suddenly turned cold!
I did however discover some patterns that would be handy from Jalie…[Read more]

I finally got some time to sew on Friday night, so I made up two pairs of Playtime leggings (I think this brings my total to 15 or 16), a quick knit maxi skirt for my 4-year-old and some linen pacifier leashes for the baby. It felt so good to sew!

Cybele, do you have one side of the placket folded under? This was my mistake. I had both sides flipped out. If you can’t work it out this time then make the stretch of the fabric work for you and stretch the neckline slightly.

So far we have had a cool summer here. I have three things to finish sewing for work for summer then onto some fun O+S clothes for my baby boy! I decided to sew one garment from each pattern so he has a good selection. He will be three at the one of this month, so hard to believe! After I finish up things for him it is onto school sewing for…[Read more]

Thank you! It helps.
Lightning McStitch replied to the topic Step 1 – View A Front Skirt in the forum oliver + s: music box 10 years ago

This step is sewing the pleats. So long as you fold the fabric right sides together it doesn’t technically matter whether you hold it as in the picture (folded side on the left) or turn it upside down (folded side on the right).
If you flip it and have the fold on the right but the markings still at the top then it’s all still the same.

Lovely, thank you Nicole.
I have made them for PE and don’t want them to be too restrictive.
I will try it!
cybele727 replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

I was making a 6. I checked to make sure that I cut a 6 collar and 6 parts. It is super weird. One thing I figured out is that I needed to reverse which side was folded back and which side was open. That at least made the seam to front necklines equal at 3.5 inches give or take some “ease.”

I cut a 12 muslin and that will fit for this one.…[Read more]

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

I commented on flickr too, but what size are you making? I made the 12, 18 and 4 (have a 7 cut) and depending on the stretch of my knit I had to ease the collar. On a few of them I clipped just a tiny bit (like 2-3 notches) of the collar on the front sides, the back was fine on all of them. The notches are especially helpful on this one.
cybele727 replied to the topic Parachute Polo Sew Along in the forum Sew Alongs 10 years ago

Congrats Heidi!!

Ok. I am going to beg for more help here. I tried the wash and dry thing. No help. The collar is too short by approximately the extra added on by the placket. I checked and I cut the same size pattern pieces. (Lol).

If you go to Flickr I posted a picture of a drawing.

Any advice is welcome. I am likely going to cut a…[Read more]

Oh yes we are laughing here too! Only to keep from crying instead. Its just too warm for winter and just so ridiculous how I have to put the air conditioner on to get the temp to ideal.

I finished the pyjamas and she’s wearing them now. But they are a little big and I made the arms very long! They are cute though.

I hope to continue on with the…[Read more]

I’m having a laugh at the “below 18”, I don’t think we had one day this week where the maximum was 15 let alone 18 🙂 (temperature conversion for USA 18C=64.4F 15C=59F)
I’ve been working on the WIP box again today. I finished one pair of PJ pants, 3 shirred dolls skirts and one dress up cape. I also discovered the second box is at least half…[Read more]
