Yup, rehydrate it!

got it, thanks!

@roundtheworldgirl and @jax, meeting up sounds great. I’m hoping to have the top floor of our new house as combined sewing and kids play area (with a fence in between!), so once I’m set up I’d be happy to have a sewing play date!

I used to go to a lovely stitching group at my local quilt shop, and they were very child friendly. I think I may have…[Read more]

I’ve watched both series and it’s addictive! I get excited on the day it’s due to air. I find I fluctuate between being incredulous that some sewers don’t know how to do basic techniques and being humbled by how brilliant some sewers are. After the show I always want to jump up and sew something. If you can access it, do watch it, I know you will enjoy it.

Yay Tamara! Glad it’s back in action, it’s so cute!

I redid the elastic in one leg of the heather ross bodysuit. Now we can wear it again!

I pm’d you. 🙂

Really? That makes me so happy, thank you!
PS (I love your name, I wanted a Mimi)

Thank you! I was very happy with it and used your tutorial Nicole. It looks adorable on my little granddaughter.

@NCMimi, great idea.
I found we had to have a ‘system’ to get the Jumprope dress on my little girl, she had a big head.
She soon learned the ‘procedure’ 🙂

I love your dress.

Yes I’ll definitely try it again with a lighter fabric. Maybe there was too much bulk at the waist although there was plenty of ease when it was on…

I’m thinking that maybe if she puts her arms through first and the lifts over her head that it will glide on more easily.

Have you folks looked into your local guilds? My city has a Modern Quilt Guild with regular sewing meetups in addition to the meetings. I don’t even quilt and still enjoy it. They give good information on machine maintenance, tools, upcoming fabric lines, etc. They also bring in special guests like Anna Maria Horner and Liesl. There’s something…[Read more]

I saw this advertised on Foxtel whilst I was in hospital. It looks fantastic, I wish we could get it. 🙁

I wonder if she found the shoulder fit a wee bit snug…..

I made this for my daughter and, as per usual, sized back and added length. It was a bit of a tug around the shoulders but fine once on.

Perhaps try a knit or a cotton poplin with some stretch?
