My goodness, I had forgotten all about that beautiful dress!

Yes I made it and it worked fine. I ended up using silk dupioni for the yoke. https://www.flickr.com/photos/23557464@N03/8260534376/in/dateposted-public/

Good on you Heidi. I donated a tub of cut out WIP’s last year. Very cathartic. I am like an ex-smoker now. I cut-I sew. I am terrified of going back to that!

Tonight I finished Zara’s Lisette Moto jacket (B6169). We went with the size 6 with an inch off the waist. Zara chose the leftovers from Hugo’s jacket, charcoal wool and we splurged on some…[Read more]

@roundtheworldgirl how did the velvet playdate turn out? Did you make it in the end? I must wanted to find out as I am considering this pattern for some double velvet I purchased recently, but am at a loss as to what to use for the yoke as I don’t have any in white.

I’m attacking my WIP box! Most other it is at least 2 year old. So far I have finished a pram liner for over 2 years ago. Now what next?

@Deepa that is a good thought.

I am planning a pair in the smallest size to be made with drill. So will see if it has something to do with the fabric.

I have made the size 5 three times. I had the issue being discussed in this forum, on the first pair, which was a medium weight twill type cotton. I just trimmed off the excess from the bottom. The second and third were made from apparel weight cotton and went off okay. Maybe it has something to go with the amount of stretch in the fabric weave. I…[Read more]

It’s sort of to take over from the ill fated music class shirt – which will be looked at and hopefully correctly completed soon. I made a pair of pink playtime leggings and the liberty pepler will go with it so there is another outfit sorted.

I don’t feel like sewing corduroy at the moment. The weather is just too hot! Everywhere else in…[Read more]

Justsewit, I think the Hide and Seek will look awesome with the liberty fabric. Also, I love that pattern. It’s my dd’s favorite violin recital gear.

Heidi, congratulations on your quilt top!

I just finished these in 12–18 but used the 3T lengths (I know that’s not really how you’re supposed to do it…) and I also had this issue. I just attached the side panel starting from the top, which made my notches line up, and assumed the purpose was for not taking any chances when making the hem. Clearly not, though!
