Fiona, I have found the Playtime to be pretty on par with my other oft-used patterns – Music Box, Bubble Dress, Class Picnic, etc. So for my slender girls I size down the width considerably – the last ones I made were a size 2 with length but that was a while ago. I’d say I go down two sizes or so from RTW but that is the case with the patterns…[Read more]

I read Nicole’s tute and she measured Tilly’s arms to make them. I was wondering how the music class sleeve bottom would look with it. I was planning to use the garden party sleeve cap just to save fitting headaches.

I’m afraid I can’t help with the playtime question Fiona, as I haven’t made that one (or have I?) – it would have had serious alterations if I did and I know I used a knit and a woven for one pattern but as to whether it was that particular one, I simply cannot remember. I would think it would be roomier with a knit though”

Goodness, dear RTWG, you are on a real sewing kick, aren’t you? So glad you have a good pattern for your nursing wear. Thank you everybody for your kind comments about the ‘profitable Popovers’. Apart from contributing to a good cause, I always hope that people might find their way to dear O + S as a consequence of buying one of my efforts. LoL,…[Read more]

When you ‘share’ the pics, you can adjust the ‘size’ to ‘medium’ which helps with loading, and downloading for the recipient. I’ve made the MB nearly as many times as RTWG (one of my favourite patterns) so I hope you can share on this site.

I tried but to large to upload. Do you have an email?

Ditto to all the others’ comments, dear Jenny. So pleased that your dear little girl is doing better, and recovering her looks, and presumably her energy. I do empathise with the agony of trying to stay strong for a child in pain when you can’t stop it, and the illness requires grisly procedures. (Been there with my godson when he was little, many…[Read more]

Could you post the photos here? (I’m not on Facebook but I’ve made the Music Box at least seven times so I might be able to help).

Ellen, I aspire to do that one day. My husband keeps talking about my sewing him a suit (and I fail to contain my laughter every time he mentions it) but a shirt I could probably do. It just feels daunting!

In my quest to sew all the knits in my stash (where this came from, I have no idea), I have started making nursing loungewear. I found a sweet pattern on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/listing/171370912/e-pattern-sweet-blossom-lingerie?ref=shop_home_active_1) that includes variations for a nursing sleep bra, camisole and gown. I made up the bra and…[Read more]

@motherof5 made this with long/longish sleeves on the grey dress with hot pink piping. I’m not sure how she lengthened it but maybe she’ll let us know 🙂
