miss_sonja replied to the topic Hem help! in the forum liesl + co: everyday skirt 10 years ago
It’s my lack of skill at successfully turning an entire skirt hem 1/2″ and then again. All attempts were wavy and unappealing. And my machine won’t baste properly.
I found BanRol at the local fabric store, and will give that a try and let you all know how it worke.d
One reason I really like sewing for my littlest is that size 2 things are so…[Read more]

mcholley1, the picture is of Manatee Springs, in Chiefland, Florida. It’s pretty near where I live. (Rainbow Springs in Dunnellon is a little nearer, and that is where I usually go to swim.) Are you nearby?

BeckyinFL started the topic Garden Party Dress – some changes to in the forum oliver + s: garden party 10 years ago
I have made the Garden Party dress twice now, and I just want to record a few changes I made in case it would interest anyone else:
*After tracing the front piece I cut my pattern apart along the basting line so I could mark along it on the fabric (taped back together again for next time.)
*Ran 5 lines of basting instead of 3. Sounds excessive,…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoFirst…YAY Team Paper!!! I loathe PDFs and am so happy to be able to buy paper patterns!
I was lucky enough to be a tester for the skirt. I’m only 5’2″ and the skirt is a good length for me. It is a really fun, quick, and easy sew for anyone that is wondering about that. It does feel a little “open” when I wear it. However, I wear a pencil…[Read more]

I have never heard of Art Gallery cottons. I’ll watch out for them. Dubhels200, have fun!
The finished Garden Party dress is now posted in the Flickr group.

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI am still waiting for my mother to return from States to get hold of my Lisette patterns, so those would keep me busy for a while! However I would love to try the gallery top, it looks really comfortable. It’s my favorite from the new releases. I would love to try the skirt as well, I love the style. Maybe blue chambray.
I don’t get knits easily,…[Read more] -

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI absolutely love my gallery tunic, but I have the same reservations on the dress length. I love the tunic with skinny pants and shorts to balance out the loose ness. There are very good instructions on full bust adjustments.
The city stroll skirt is awesome. It’s fun to be a little short. Admittedly, I got to test it and wore it all winter long…[Read more]

I just had a quick look at the pattern and I don’t see why the pattern instructions wouldn’t be the best way. The hem is only a little curved. turn it half an inch, then another 1 1/2 and ease in the fullness where it curved. It will be just fine.

Sewing for Yourself 10 years agoI like all of the patterns. I’m not in a hurry to make any of them though. The maritime is a cute classic style, but I really like it in stripes, however I cannot wear stripes. They make me look wider. The skirt is very cute, but it looks too short for my lifestyle. I’m 5’7″ and I teach so I kind of need to move around a bit. Up and down off…[Read more]

meleliza replied to the topic Wedding Wardrobe Help? in the forum off topic 10 years ago
Yes, same wedding. I don’t go to many! I will try to make something for myself, but it really is the busy time of year. I’m really tempted to re-do the floral dress above in the beige lace. I wouldn’t have to work too hard because I’ve already done the fitting.
