I figured it out. I’m still not sure what went wrong but I ended up having to trim the arm hole by a half inch where it connected on the side.

Here is my little miss in her Easter Library dress!

@mommy2maria Jess I’m so sorry! I wish that particular bad fairy would go on vacation.

Cheers, @motherof5 Nicole, and yes, not near my laptop! (Ok, truthfully, it’s always near my laptop)

Try washing it in a wool wash and then air drying it.
I tend to wash linen in a wool/delicate wash product as it can help with the stiffness/scratchiness

Thanks Nicole, I will enjoy it despite the reason for going. I wasn’t expecting to see my family until October next year, so it will be lovely to have a whole month with them.

Despite nothing saying so on their website, Hancock was closed for Easter Sunday, so we will go tomorrow instead. I’ve spent the afternoon dozing on the couch while Audrey…[Read more]

It’s hard to say how much it will shrink now, but generally, yes linen will soften after it’s been washed and dried a few times. It tends to only get softer over time too.

@Sarvi, I think the sewing havoc wench moved on to my house. I sewed the lining to the swingset skirt on inside out. Boooo.

I wish your trip home could be happier Jay.

We were meant to head to our beach cottage but we had farm issues to attend to, so we stayed home. I have not had to cook as I prepped all the meals already so I sewed up Jed’s shirt, made Trixie some hanky linen Puppet show shorts and drafted off the Jedediah trousers.
And ate too much cheese, way too…[Read more]

I finished sewing Audrey’s Roller Skate dress this morning so she could wear it to Mass. She’s gone with daddy, but I’m home with Josephine trying to get well from a cold before I fly back to Australia next weekend.
I’ll try to get some photos when they get home.

A paper Bubble dress in the bigger size, in Canada

Oh dear! Poor Sarvi!

If it makes you feel any better, I am being treated by an in the shower rendition of the sountrack to Frozen and thinking about the dress that Chloe should be wearing but isn’t because it is just a pattern laid out on fabric, half cut!

Its going to be an “it was meant to worn at Easter, Easter dress” which I can hopefully…[Read more]
