Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoMore links! This is the brides dress, but please keep it hush hush! http://www.pronovias.us/wedding-dresses-2014/collection-fashion-lamero
The bridesmaids will be in a deep blue, but I haven’t seen the dresses. The fabric I bought was on the cover of sew beautiful magazine in a reproduction of a dress worn by Caroline Kennedy in the famous Avedon…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoSorry! I meant to say I splurged on this dreamy stuff: http://webstore.quiltropolis.net/stores_app/Browse_Item_Details.asp?Shopper_id=962522810499625&Store_id=198&page_id=23&Item_ID=31939
I do have a Pinterest board here: http://www.pinterest.com/melanieew/flower-girl/. but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it.…[Read more]

Very pretty. I think I’d do a fairy tale with that overlaying a color that echoes the brides-maid dresses. But a pale pastel version of the color.
It is so diaphanous. The sleeves could be just that material. I would likely lengthen the fairy tale to make it at least mid calf.
Make me one in my size?

I do have a but the fabric is so unique! I keep flip flopping on how to best use it. Plus, I thought it would be fun to talk about! What is more lovely than little girls in white dresses?
Here’s my . The fabric there is quite different though, so I’m not sure it would work.

Nicole started the topic Hopscotch Skirt with built in Bloomers in the forum oliver + s: hopscotch 10 years ago
I made Beartix a Hopscotch/Tea Party bloomers skirt. As I have stated previously, pattern making is not my thing, but the result is a very handy piece of clothing.
I blogged a wee tute here http://fiveandcounting-motherof5.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/hopscotch-with-bloomers.html if you would like a peep. 🙂

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoWe’ve only heard rave reviews about any of Gail’s classes….so, we can only imagine how wonderful taking two of her classes would be. Ooooh, yes!! You must finish them now – so nice to have an excuse to do so.

justsewit replied to the topic Easter Sewing in the forum
Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI had the very great pleasure of taking a couple of classes with Gail when she came to Australia for Beating around the bush a few years ago (about 8?) we made Primrose from the Beautiful Bishops book – I did size 18 month I think and it still isn’t completed so maybe for next Easter it will be done.
I also did another dress with her that…[Read more]

Cooking and Baking 10 years agoLinda when I was pregnant I couldn’t get enough of baby spinch and beans. I eat a lot of red meat also. Unfortunately, you have to eat heaps of the iron rich foods to actually have the amount of iron needed – baby takes all the body’s iron reserves in the final trimester. I would suggest double checking with the doctor also as she may need an iron…[Read more]

Rhythm replied to the topic Fabrics in the forum off topic 10 years ago
@Linda – Calcutta is famous for Bengali cotton and tant cotton. It is fabulous! Saris are generally 5.5 to 6 meters, so plenty of fabric. The cotton is fine and translucent almost muslin type, you would have to line any garments made from it I reckon. All saris would be starched, but the weave should be fine. Also if you buy from a big store then…[Read more]

Heirloom Sewing and Embroidery 10 years agoI can’t see the fabric you splurged on, is there supposed to be a link or attachment? I doubt I can suggest anything you haven’t thought of but I’m excited to see what you’ll make!
