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]

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.

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]

Yes, for cutting out in the beginning. But diagram to me looks like it is showing open on right. It is very slight in picture.
Tamara replied to the topic What are you sewing now? in the forum off topic 10 years ago

I think I need to send the mending your way Heidi. I just hate mending! Probably because the things needing to be mended are work shirts with huge rips in them and generally are tossed in the rag bag.

I am happily plugging away at a nearly completed Kimono top to accompany the bottoms. Hopefully, the lamb will sleep long enough for me to finish…[Read more]

Oh wow, so exciting!
Yes, I have now replied to you. I had to go and find the private messages. Looking forward to sewing up my new patterns 🙂
Thank you, Rachel, Liesl And Todd for running the competition and having great patterns.

I’ve a few things in my mending pile, boys are so hard on their knees! I have one pair of synthetic trackies with holes where he’s managed to melt the fabric! It must have been some impressive slides on the floor 🙂
Nicole, I don’t mind mending if I’ve got good company to talk to while I do it 🙂

Its been a week of wanting to get to sew but not getting to sew for me! Lots of distractions including the baby not sleeping too well during the day. Thankfully, I have been rewarded with the chance this morning and am now up to binding the legs of the sleep over pj’s I managed to cut out this morning. They have only been sitting there on the…[Read more]

I find if I carefully stretch the main to match the binding, just a bee’s whisker mind, there are less puckers.

I will pin her down Britters, I don’t think I have ever so anyone something and received such an ecstatic result.
It is so nice.

Heidi, it’s a pity you are not closer, my mending pile is huge! 😉

I would slash and spread along the middle of the buttock and mark the point on the facing adding the same amount to that.
