Thanks for the replies. I don’t have any knit interfacing, so unless I find some in the next week or so, I’ll give it a try without. I’m toying with the idea of colour blocking it with fleece and quilting cotton. Could be cute!

I don’t know if this is the right place to put this, but I thought of it after I filled out my survey a month or so ago. 🙂 I was thinking that it would be very helpful to know what size clothing the model on the cover of the patterns is wearing and what his/her rough measurements are. I think this would help us to have a better understanding of…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip @vothgirl, that’s very interesting! I’m so bad at technology :).

My most viewed item is a dress made from the Cottage Home tutorial in 2011. I used Anna Maria Horner voile and was terrified that I would ruin such expensive fabric. But both my girls adored that dress and wore it until it was indecently short.

My most…[Read more]

I’m not sure Sarvi, as I’ve put quite a few things into Project Run and Play and the others don’t seem to be nearly as high. I’m not particulary concerned, just curios 🙂

Oh, great tip, @vothgirl ! I bet you will see an interesting uptick in views after appearing on the blog. I’ll be curious to know what the difference is.

@with-love-heidi I wonder whether the Project Run & Play entry had something to do with it?

@justmejay I know the hunstman spider pic you mention, I can see why it has so many views!

I really need to learn how to do this without Hugo’s help….

I crochet some. Although I haven’t much the last couple of years. My gauge is always off (really big.) I made my daughter a sweater vest that I could fit into. It discouraged me. Now, I stick to baby blankets.

Lately I have been trying to learn to embroider. I am a little frustrated right now. I just read somewhere online that I am not…[Read more]

If it is a stretch fabric and she doesn’t mind a bit of tugging I think it would be do-able.

I would sew it, with out the facings, safely pin the shoulders closed and try it on. If it works, snip off the excess strap, if it doesn’t, finish it with the buttons and button holes.

I have a tute here if you would like a peep at the construction.

Oh Brittney, sounds like the preteen thing has struck at your house. My daughter was just like that starting from about 9 and my son is starting to become rather opinionated about what he wears – he feels like he is in prison with certain stripe combinations!

I think its a good thing to include them in the planning process. More of a chance they…[Read more]

I want to make more for my, all of a sudden, very opinionated 9 year old. She has noticed the clothes I make her aren’t the same as what the kids at school wear, ie the majority aren’t knits and she decided to have an opinion about colors and patterns. But, she still loves when I make her things, so I need to change my game.

I want to focus…[Read more]

Could you hear my squeal from here? Liesl said blazer! Definitely one of my dream patterns.

I went and checked each picture 🙂
My top viewed photo is of the casual elsa dress I made early in 2014, 1, 243 views. I think this is also one of the most worn items this year as well!

I was surprised by second place, 1, 020 views. It is another hopscotch dress I made 2 years ago and entered in a Project Run And Play sew along. It’s a pink…[Read more]

@rhythmtyagi that cross stitch is adorable! I saved the Martha Stewart pdf template to my phone’s Kindle app and am already thinking how I can adapt it to resemble my family – mostly, how I’ll make the man’s outfit look like a military uniform ;-). I love that the baby is in a carrier as I use my ring sling and ergo all the time! I like the sizing…[Read more]
