You’re no fun with the sensible-muslin-talk-that-I-know-is-right-but-don’t-want-to-do-but-will-now 😉

On a serious note thank you, I’ll extend and see what it looks like. I was aiming for something like 6 inches, based on the blouse she already has and measuring down to her knees-ish.

Welcome back Fee, I hope you have fun sewing up all those little things.

I must admit, I love a birth story, you would have think I had had enough but they always thrill me. If anyone else is inspired to write theirs, feel free. (Or post links)

Thank you for your best wishes, just a straight forward Gall Bladder removal, I fit the criteria of…[Read more]

Thinking of the shape, I would extend from the bottom, following the A-line but I would definitely make a trial run before cutting the Liberty.
You could use it as a nightie.

I would add a fair bit of length, a few inches not just a few cm’s.

Happy New Year, forum members. I hope it’s a great year for families, and sewing, and that dramas of the unpleasant kind are few, and far between – as we know they can never be avoided altogether.

Thank you, T for your story about Chloe’s birth, and of course, for all the other women who have shared their experiences. I’ve never had a child, and…[Read more]

No sewing, it was a washing and ironing day, but I did prep some cornflower blue cotton poplin for Music Class school blouses (short sleeves and pin tucks) for Lid’s and Tildy.

I *was* going to cut navy Badminton skorts as bottoms but I am seriously considering Lunch Box culottes with all the lovely versions popping up in the Flickr pool…..

I love when something I try works out.

I am not a pattern designer but I do enjoy sewing without patterns sometimes…mostly for myself. I have a dress form that I use.

My all time favorite things to sew is little girls dresses.

Thanks Nicole!

Yay @vothgirl.
@Dawn R, that will look so cute.

Don’t you love it when a experiment works?
I made Trixie a Hopscotch top and skirt today but I adapted the skirt to have the Tea Party bloomers built in.
And it worked!

It was not with out a few head scratching moments though. As I have said in the past, I take my hat off to pattern designers,…[Read more]

Yes, do, maybe even the 2T?
I make this for my girls as a school uniform and is a dress that can be worn a little big with a deeper hem.

Yes, you might be able to size down a bit. Just be sure the skirt will fit over your hips! That’s the only reason I left the ease–it would be such a shame to sew it and not be able to actually pull the skirt on!
