I just have the neck binding to stitch down and we have a pair of mini pj’s!

A pair of pink dresses in need of a new home….
I have some options for rehoming but these are both such Oliver + S dresses that I prefer to offer them here!
First up:
Family reunion, size 2

Trying to find where the spring patterns were launched last year but having trouble locating it. Will they be soon or next month?

Yes, up feeding Jay.
I just though of you, we just passed a beautifully restored 1950 Holden sedan on the highway

I found the wings in the dress up box Mel, they have elastic at the underarms elbow and wrist
I will take a piccie got you
I still think the penguin look the best

I finished the sketchbook shirt, 5 hours from drafting the pattern to completely finished
Considering Trixie has a cold ( and needed lots of cuddles) I was pretty happy with that
We are on our way to the party and it is a glorious day

Just popping in to say that if you already like digital you will love these ones
Rather then glueing together a huge sheet one pieces just the patterns pieces
It will make sense when you print

A big welcome to you!

Thank you, thank you Joanna. I thought a similar idea for the woven lining. The non-zipper version sounds easy. I saw in a post discussion here (turning a library dress into a Tea knockoff) the bodice would need to be slimmer in order to fit snugly against the body. Would love to try this version if I can get the measurements right.

I was remembering the various costumes and it came to me that we used very inexpensive craft felt for the hats and a pattern very similar to the hood in LTTS for many of them over the years. The thing we liked was that we didn’t have to worry about a close fit and no worries about them falling off since they had ties. The hood pattern could work…[Read more]
